One of the main aims of Graveyard Keeper is to keep the cemetery in good condition. This is done by burying fully intact bodies, digging flowerbeds, and most of all, repairing ornate graves and tombstones. Players will start off with a few Wood and Stone Repair Kits to help them fix up the damaged graveyard they inherit, but many more will be needed.
Graveyard Keeper: Tips For Beginners
Graveyard Keeper is a farming sim with a macabre twist. For players just starting out, here are a few key tips.
There are two ways to get Repair Kits in Graveyard Keeper. Wood ones can be bought from the carpenter, or both types can be crafted at home. Naturally, crafting Repair Kits is more economically viable in the long run, but it takes a few technology unlocks and some other buildings to be able to do so.
Where To Buy Repair Kits In Graveyard Keeper
Sadly, only Wood Repair Kits can be bought in Graveyard Keeper, but even if you could buy Stone Repair Kits, they would likely be too expensive.
Where To Buy Wood Repair Kits
- Tress the Carpenter
- Cost: 25 Bronze
Tress the carpenter is found in the north of the village, slightly northeast of the tavern. On the map, this is depicted by a single building with a log icon. He is directly south of the woodcutter and sells Wood Repair Kits, as well as wooden materials and eventually tools at higher tiers.
The cost of items slightly increases the more you buy in one go. For example, one Wood Repair Kit costs 25 Bronze, but it's 53 Bronze for two.
How To Craft Repair Kits In Graveyard Keeper
Repair Kits can be crafted from wood and stone, respectively, but players will first need to unlock the right technology and build the correct crafting equipment outside their house.
How To Craft Wooden Repair Kits
- Tech: Sawing, Woodworking
- Equipment: Sawhorse, Carpenter's Workbench
- Materials: 3 Flitch, 1 Wooden Plank, 2 Nails
After unlocking Sawing from the Building tech tree, players can build a Sawhorse in their yard. With this, they can craft 6 Flitch from a Log. These Logs must be carried to the yard and stored after felling a tree.
With the Woodworking tech unlocked, players can then build a Carpenter's Workbench. This is first needed to craft 1 Wooden Plank from 1 Flitch. The workbench is then used to craft the Wood Repair Kit.
For Nails, players can buy these from the blacksmith in the southeast of the village, or they can forge their own at a Wooden Anvil, but this requires further tech and resources.
How To Craft Stone Repair Kits
- Tech: Stoneworking
- Equipment: Stone Cutter
- Materials: 1 Piece of Stone, 2 Simple Iron Parts, 1 Clay
The Stone Cutter must be researched in the Building tree and built in the player's yard to craft Stone Repair Kits. However, while a single Piece of Stone isn't hard to come by, the Simple Iron Parts must be bought from the Blacksmith or forged at a Wooden Anvil.
Graveyard Keeper: How To Get All Food Recipes
Cooking is one of many relaxing Graveyard Keeper side activities for players to enjoy. This guide will help players expand their cooking options.
Much harder to acquire is Clay, which must be researched at the Study Table to be able to dig the earthy pits. However, the Study Table is only unlocked after meeting the Bishop's requirement of reaching a Graveyard quality of 5. For this reason, players will want to focus on wooden decoration for their cemetery until later. During this time, they can also get started on farming in Graveyard Keeper.
