Graveyard Keeper 2 Science — Red, Blue & Tech Points

Short answer

“Graveyard keeper 2 science” usually means tech tree points (red and blue), not a single item. You earn them from studies, books, and some quest chests—then spend them on the blueprint screen.

Red vs blue (what players mix up)

Color	Typical sources	Spent on
Red science	Corpses, autopsy studies, many early books	Building, zombies, graveyard tools
Blue science	Tower studies, mid/late books, some orders	Alchemy, factory, advanced stations

The UI shows both pools on the tech tree. Running out of one color while hoarding the other is normal—plan the next book or study instead of grinding random crafts.

Fast early science

1. Autopsy / study what the game highlights on fresh bodies (red).
2. Open Albert’s tower chest when the plague thread allows—water and blood studies are cheap blue.
3. Build the writing desk and queue short books between smelting or crop timers (writing desk).
4. Check tech tree before buying duplicate stations you cannot power yet.

Science kits (item searches)

Players also land here looking for Science Kit I / II factory goods. Those are crafted products for orders and assembly—not the same as clicking “research” on the tree. See Science Kit I and Science Kit II for item stats; use this page for how to fund research.

When science feels “stuck”

• Greyed blueprint — missing parent tech or wrong color pool; read the tooltip on the node.
• No new studies — advance Jack/town flags; tower chest updates after story beats.
• Burned points on factory too early — carousel power and one complete belt beat another tier-2 bench you cannot feed.

Pair science grinding with faith and orders so town income catches up to your tree spend.
