Graveyard Keeper 2 Systems: Progression & Mid-Game Loops

Once corpses and Day-1 blockers are under control, Graveyard Keeper 2 opens into coupled systems: zombie labor, tech unlocks, Dream Dust gates, food energy, faith/sermons, workshop automation, alchemy runes, tech points, money, inspirations, fast travel, farming and Town restoration. These guides prioritize what to unlock and wire next — not every item ID.
