I remember the evening I realized my graveyard could be more than a pile of mossy stones. A single missing part stalled three projects and suddenly the whole place felt fragile. That moment changed how I chased blueprints from then on.
I write this as someone who’s rebuilt workshops mid-run and begged strangers on Reddit for a single bronze gear. You will find the blueprints, but you must plan what to craft and when. Your research tree will feel like fitting gears into a clock.
All blueprints in Graveyard Keeper 2 and how to craft them
I noticed my first full bench sitting unused because I lacked the right nails and glass.
Below I break every blueprint into tidy, readable lists so you can act without second-guessing. I’ll show you where blueprints sit in the research flow, what materials each construction needs, and how to prioritize when your inventory looks less like a workshop and more like a thrift store. Steam guides and YouTube clips helped me spot tricks; use them too when you need a visual reference.
How do I get all blueprints in Graveyard Keeper 2?
Blueprints appear behind research nodes in the Research Tree — you don’t find them lying around like loot. You must buy or reach each module in the tree to enable a blueprint. If you focus on one branch at a time, you’ll finish whole production chains faster and avoid wasted trips between workstations.
What materials do I need for each blueprint?
Each blueprint lists specific parts: boards, nails, bronze details, stone, glass, and so on. I recommend assembling a short shopping list for each workbench session. Materials form a spiderweb of resources connecting benches and barricades; once you stitch one loop, the rest flows faster.
How to complete all blueprints in Graveyard Keeper 2
I saw players skip research and then wonder why their workshop stalled.
Every blueprint requires a corresponding research module. You must first open the node on the Research Tree, then gather the listed parts and build at the appropriate workstation. Treat research as the gating step — build order matters when resources are tight.
Building
I once stood in front of a half-finished chest because I was missing bronze nails.
These are the wood-and-fittings blueprints you’ll craft to outfit your graveyard and storage. Build the basics first: sawhorse, chopping spot, and chest. Keep bronze nails and wooden planks in steady supply; they’re the small costs that kill momentum if you run out.
| Blueprint | Required Materials |
|---|---|
| Sawhorse | 2 Board4 Stick |
| Chopping Spot | 2 Short Log |
| Woodworking Workbench I | 4 Bronze Nails8 Board |

| Kiln | 4 Piece of Stone5 Clay5 Water |
| Woodworking Workbench II | 4 Oiled Plank |
| Circular Saw | 2 Polished Bronze10 Wooden Planks10 Iron Nails2 Bronze Gear |
Metallurgy
I watched a furnace idle because no one had built the bellows yet.
Metallurgy defines how you shape bronze and iron parts. Invest in a furnace and an anvil early if you plan to craft hardened tools or barricade upgrades. Bronze details and iron ingots are craft-intensive — keep peat and brick production humming.
| Blueprint | Required Materials |
|---|---|
| Wooden Anvil | 1 Short Log1 Stone |
| Furnace I | 6 Piece of Stone12 Brick |
| Firewood Shed I | 10 Stick2 Bronze Nails |
| Hardening Bracket | 4 Wooden Planks6 Bronze Nails |
| Barricade I | 2 Short Log2 Reinforced Plank6 Bronze Nails |
| Spiked Barricade I | 2 Short Log2 Reinforced Plank6 Bronze Nails |
| Fortified Barricade I | 2 Reinforced Plank2 Short Log6 Bronze Nails |
| Iron Anvil | 2 Iron Ingot4 Piece of Stone |
| Bellows | N/A |
| Expand Military Building Area | 1 Victory Banner |
Farming
I kept losing peat because I hadn’t set up a compost pile.
Farming blueprints improve supply chains: peat, flax, and cloth craft work. Start with compost and garden upgrades to raise yield and reduce time gathering raw peat. A spinning wheel and loom open cloth production and side income opportunities.
| Blueprint | Required Materials |
|---|---|
| Compost Pile | 2 Board12 Stick |
| Milestone | 2 Board2 Piece of Stone |
| Garden Upgrade I | 9 Wooden Planks10 Peat18 Bronze Nails |
| Spinning Wheel | 3 Wooden Plank8 Stick12 Bronze Nails |
| Weaving Loom | 2 Polished Bronze4 Wooden Plank8 Bronze Nails |
Theology
I found myself short on glass the first time the church demanded a shrine.
Theology blueprints are about interior upgrades and community trust. Benches, confession booths, and jewelry tables increase your options for sermon events and income streams. Keep glass and polished bronze handy if you plan to craft the more decorative pieces.
| Blueprint | Required Materials |
|---|---|
| Writing Desk | 4 Wooden Plank6 Bronze Nails1 Polished Bronze |
| Interior Bench I | 2 Wooden Plank6 Bronze Nails |
| Improve the Church I | 8 Board6 Piece of Stone |
| Confession Booth I | 6 Wooden Plank8 Bronze Nails |
| Church Shrine | 4 Wooden Plank6 Bronze Nails3 Piece of Stone |
| Formulation Bench | 4 Wooden Plank4 Bronze Detail1 Polished Bronze |
| Jewelry Table | 4 Wooden Plank3 Glass12 Bronze Nails |
Anatomy and Alchemy
I once lost a night of progress because the distillation cube sat incomplete.
This branch runs corpse handling, resurrection attempts, and reagent production. Autopsy tables, crematoriums, and labs require a spread of materials: boards, stone, bronze details, glass, and bricks. Plan sessions around glassmaking and brick kilns — those two systems unlock a large table of downstream crafts.
| Blueprint | Required Materials |
|---|---|
| Autopsy Table I | 4 Board2 Piece of Stone4 Bronze Nails |
| Corpse Pallet I | 4 Board4 Bronze Nails |
| Grave Area I | Available as upgrade. |
| Crematorium I | 6 Ash |
| Exterior Bench I | 3 Wooden Plank5 Bronze Detail |
| Flash Shelf | 6 Wooden Plank8 Bronze Nails |
| Laboratory I | 4 Wooden Plank3 Bronze Detail3 Glass |
| Distillation Cube | 2 Wooden Plank2 Bronze Detail12 Brick |
| Resurrection Table | 2 Oiled Plank4 Polished Stone3 Glass |
I recommend bookmarking Steam discussions and a few solid YouTube guides for visual recipes and timing tricks, and keep a notepad of recurring shortages: bronze nails, glass, bricks, and polished stone. Which blueprint will you chase first?
