About this calculator
Production math, done the keeper's way
Graveyard Keeper 2's production math is honest but unforgiving: every recipe has a mastery requirement, every craft burns ticks and energy, and the gap between mastery 3 and mastery 9 is the gap between one step per tick and three. The Graveyard Keeper 2 calculator exists because that difference compounds across a whole factory line.
Type in a recipe, drag your mastery, and read the ledger: steps per tick, ticks per craft, total inputs and energy — the same formula the game runs, cross-checked against community data for Update 1.007 and flagged when unverified. Steel Ingot has no craft recipe at all, so the tool says so plainly instead of inventing a number. Nothing here is guessed.
Three steps
From recipe to ledger
Pick a recipe
The Graveyard Keeper 2 calculator loads the station, ticks, mastery requirement and inputs — Iron Ingot, Clean Paper, Supply: Iron, all of it.
OpenSet your mastery
The game halves ticks at 2× the requirement and thirds them at 3×, capped at three steps per tick. Plan the tech tree around the bottleneck.
OpenRead the ledger
Buy what you cannot craft — Steel Ingots come only from Bishop — then let the zombies work the line while you collect the silver.
