Inside the house is an area where you can prepare and cook food, as well as store some ingredients and items you might need in the process. The vast majority of the game is focused on graveyard maintenance, not farming, so try to use it as a supplement to the entire experience rather than focusing on it specifically. Some plots require stakes, some don’t, and you can build a compost pile where you can make your own fertilizer with crop waste (peat moss, the most basic fertilizer, can also be bought from a Village vendor). Building a plot to plant seeds takes very little time. Like other buildable areas, there’s a Blueprint Desk to get you started. The system is much less complicated than, say, Stardew Valley and, after buying seeds from a local farmer, you should find it very easy to start up and maintain. To the slight south of the house is also an area where you can grow crops and plants needed to maintain your energy or make materials needed in the game, for example, hemp for the production of rope. The farm itself is spread out a bit if you root around in the north and to the east, you’ll also find a beekeeping field and a vineyard, which need to be fixed up in order to use (and both require completion of certain Skill Tree entries). If you’re not sure what you should be doing with your time, either go hunt for resources to stock in the yard, or find a machine you haven’t built yet. You have a big yard to work with, but you’ll need to expand it as time goes on so you have room for everything (that option is available at the desk). Many have at least three tiers, with the most advanced machines requiring the least amount of materials while producing the highest yields. As you progress through the Skill Tree, more machines will open up, allowing you to make more advanced items for other projects. The menu for these items is accessible through a drafting table/desk on the left wall of the outside of your home. Your homebase is where you’ll make all the machines and contraptions you’ll need to refine resources. The Graveyard and Church are the only ones whose score you have to worry about though, so we’ll get to that in a minute. ![]() In Graveyard Keeper, you will have three general areas where you will be building, the Farm, the Graveyard and the Church. That being said, if you know what you’re getting into and stride into the game with a sense of vision and focus, you’ll be fine. There are a lot more items to build, and tracking down and preparing the necessary resources can be a laborious slog. I’ve compared Graveyard Keeper to Stardew Valley before and while the comparison is apt, I think Graveyard Keeper may actually be harder. But the meat of the game is there, so whatever you learn now will still apply later. There are some areas that are blocked off, character dialogues and missions that are currently closed, and items that cannot be seen or used yet in the skill tree. Actually the alpha, which is available now to the public as part of an early access program, is a fairly substantial portion of the complete version of the game. With only a month to go before the full release of Graveyard Keeper, it’s time to get a head start before the final build changes everything.
