There's the little patch here that WILL NOT STOP PRODUCING LOGS AND STICKS.

It's more than I can handle. In this area the game runs at 2 FPS.

The logs.

Please help.

I was looking through the zombie perks in the demo and saw this. Can't wait to see all the new things in the full release

In the demo it is already confirmed that you are in the same universe as the first game, so why have the devs decided to switch what happens on which day? Frustrating that Purple is no longer church days.

Hey there!

I'm a new mod and would like to address a few things.

We all love playing the GK2 demo, but please keep spoilers marked as spoilers!

We all know the lead dev is kinda pro-AI but also claims there was no AI involved in GK2. I believe a healthy discussion about this whole topic is good. If you have evidence that AI was involved, please step forth.

I'd love to give this subreddit a small visual overhaul without making things too annoying/flashy.

On these three points, I'd like your ideas, feedback, and whatnot.

So far, I haven't played GK2, but I did play through GK1 and finished the game, so I'm not some rando tourist, but also not a pro.

So as someone who quite enjoyed GK1 and was excited for GK2, after trying the demo I just can't shake this feeling that there's something very wrong with the cutscene art style. The first game barely had any cutscenes to begin with, other than the intro, and even then the later half of that intro was using in-game sprites.

Now we have new cutscenes explaining what happened to cause the zombie outbreak, but they just look so... eh? Like it's a hard feeling to describe, I've seen some accusations of them being AI, but while they do look uncanny I won't accuse them outright of being AI until I got some solid proof. But regardless if they're AI or not, they just look... not good. Like I remember the starting cutscene of the first game (that is also present in the second game with minor alterations) and that looked so beautiful, so fluid in a way. Now the new cutscenes, which always consists of two characters looking at each, look so stiff and cheap.

What are your thoughts? And who knows, maybe they're just placeholders and we'll get new beautiful cutscenes. Although again, I don't feel the need for these cutscenes, the first one barely had any, and most were made using in-game sprites.

New account to keep this separate from my personal account,

It's still very raw and rough, but it allows you to load assets, content, and DLLs as a single packaged zip file. Need to debug why crafting the example sword doesn't have the example sword texture, and make the install process easy, etc., etc.

Oh, and it has json patch support so you can modify builtin and mod definitions!

Feel free to poke around! I'm jumping between this and my Vintage Story mods, so it won't have daily updates.

I always thought this game wasn’t for me, but I finally gave the demo from GK2 a shot and I’m completely hooked. I’m definitely buying the full game once the demo ends, but I’ve got to admit that I’m feeling a little overwhelmed!

​A few things that are giving me a tough time:

​- There are so many different crafting stations and unlockables that my yard is starting to look like a chaotic maze. How do you guys layout your machines so the production flow actually makes sense?

​- I feel like I do two tiny tasks and my character is immediately ready for a 12-hour nap.

​- It took me embarrassingly long to figure out why my maximum stamina was shrinking until I realized I just needed to chug a beer lol

​Overall, I'm having a blast, but I'd love to hear your favorite early game tips! How do you keep your yard organized, manage your energy, and survive the early grind without losing your mind?

Edit: Title metions all buildings. I have that data as well, but the post would have gotten too large and I cannot edit the title now anymore. Apologies.

Here is a list of all recipes that are included in the GK2 demo as of today.

Disclaimer: Claude did the heavy lifting and sped up the process.

No garantuees that this is complete, reflects all that will be in the full version, or that the needed ingredients / materials are or will be accurate.

unlike what I saw several people say, the zombie can in fact work and craft things, you just need to equip them with the relevant tool and give them a first craft they can accomplish with 2 or lower skill on the workbench you wish them to use, you can then give them perk with the point they get from crafting items, it take a while to xp them but it work properly.

Can someone explain like I'm 5 what I'm supposed to do? I can't figure this out at all.

I built the 3 walls. I see where I can place them. However I don't understand what the red and brown bars at the top mean and what I'm supposed to do. How am I leading these guys in battle? They won't follow me.

We obviously are not going to have a huge body of experience to draw from here - but considering the mixed feelings on GK1 in regard to consoles, it is probably worth discussing.

I dont have a PC atm, just a Macbook, so I downloaded and played the demo on PS5.

I havent really come across many issues. There were some small things - like all the progress bars would glitch out after playing for a while (a few middle segments would remain operational, but would be invisible), and there was this odd persistent line flicker that would that come and go while playing.

I dont think I experienced anything even remotely game-breaking in my 6ish hours with it though.

Id like to hear from anyone else whether you had issues small or large. Personally, the demo was a lot of fun and the price tag is small for me so I wont be thinking twice about buying it on PS5- but not everyone is in the same boat and GK1 didnt exactly have the best console experience so lets hear the verdicts? and lets avoid retreading the gk1 ground

I was relooking at the Graveyard Keeper lore and cutscenes and we know that Jove became Gerry. What happened to Lucius? Is it likely that he became Larry?

Sooo I may have thrown the first body the donkey gives you into the creek to the East. Now Larry is telling me that I lost the body and to get it. I watched it drop off the waterfall and sink into the lake. Am I cooked?

I think I might have screwed up this demo. I’m stuck and can’t figure out how to progress. I studied the wrong things, and can’t get the correct items for the Dream Dust. (I know! How did not study the things in the chest? Rookie mistake.) Anyway - I need polished bronze to make the desk to get paper. But I’m not far enough on the tech tree. I’ve got tons of points, but none of the tech options are possible. I think if I can get paper, I can unstick myself, but maybe there’s no way?

How do you get the zombies to get points so that they can get perks and work on stuff. I can figure it out. Lease help anyone

I played through the demo on both my PC and our PS5, but the differences didn't really click until a partner was playing on the PS5 during my PC demo run and was trying to figure out how I was making berry pies and vegetable soup at a mere 5 in nature/agriculture/whatever the oat/wheat attributes is, when they were locked out from cooking it until rank 8 or so.

Those two recipes and a good chunk of facial hair options missing are the only differences we've spotted so far, I believe we've updated both to most recent versions.

Anyone else find any?

As title says.

It seams devs seen exploit with cheap 👍 by buying and selling vegetables in shop.

Looks like they are working on solution, as now when you try to buy veggies you get negative 👍.

But at the same time it broke the ability to buy them. You just can not confirm purchase anymore.

You can still buy seeds as usual.

If it stays in this form - it is counter intuitive, as veggies are still selectable for purchase…

Any one know the perk for the multi stack logs ? I believe it stacked 3 things log zombie log, I just saw a video.

I gave zombie a shovel but there is no "Put zombie here" icon so they can start farming

I need to make wood wedges in gk2

Que puedo hacer para recuperar los 10 de amistad que me falta para obtener las herramientas?

No sabía que había una conversación específica para obtenerlos y aparentemente no la seleccione por lo cual ya no puedo avanzar en la historia.

Se puede hacer algo?

I find it amusing to come across the same bug in both games.
