GK2 AutoKeeper

Automation bot for Graveyard Keeper 2 (BepInEx 5). It performs routine chores using only actions the player could do — no item spawning, no save editing, no game files modified.

Code written with Claude (Anthropic) and tested in-game by the author.

Status: early release (0.3.x). Routine: body processing in the morgue (pallet → autopsy table → extract organs → crematorium). Next step: burial in graves (see Next steps).

Bugs, help with the settings and suggestions: open an issue on GitHub using a template — see Support below.

Features

• Body processing (morgue): takes bodies from the pallets or the ground, puts them on a free autopsy table, extracts organs and the "Others" items (flesh, fat, blood — all configurable), then takes the body to the crematorium and collects the result when it is done
• Keeps working while the crematorium burns: autopsied bodies are parked on an empty pallet so the tables stay free, and go to the crematorium later
• Fetches bodies left outside (e.g. delivered to another area) as its last task, through the game's doors
• Success chance check: extracts item by item only when the game's success chance is above the minimum you choose
• Walks by itself to where the work is, using the game's own doors (house → yard → morgue), and works from the same spot the game uses (no shuffling around the table)
• Eats from your hot bar when energy is low, several items in a row without going over the maximum (skips items that raise insanity)
• Chest: when your inventory is nearly full, stores only what the bot collected in the nearest chest. It never takes items out of chests, and stops at once if a nearby chest loses items while it runs
• Insanity and sleep guard: turns itself off above a configurable insanity (default 60) and when the game's Lack of Sleep debuff is active (2 days awake: half of the energy spent becomes insanity) — or, if you choose, goes home, sleeps in the bed and continues the work afterwards
• Never holds the Action key while the game is aiming at a different object
• Turns itself off and forgets everything when you load a save or go back to the main menu
• F8 – turn the bot on/off (kill switch)
• F9 – show/hide the status panel
• F11 – in-game settings window with the game's own look (also a button on the status panel)
• F10 – write a read-only discovery dump (JSON) of the current scene to BepInEx/config/AutoKeeper/dumps
• Optional: with GK2 Mod Framework installed, the same settings appear under Mods in the main and pause menus
• Pauses automatically in menus, pause screen, UI windows, dialogues, cutscenes and sleep
• Settings window, status panel and log messages in English or Brazilian Portuguese (follows the game language)

Requirements

• Graveyard Keeper 2 (Steam, Windows) — tested on game version 1.007.1
• BepInExPack 5.4.2305 (BepInEx 5.4.23.x)

Installation

• Mod manager (r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager): install and launch through the manager.
• Manual: install BepInEx 5.4.23.x next to GraveyardKeeper2.exe, run the game once, then copy the plugins/AutoKeeper folder to <game>/BepInEx/plugins/.

Configuration

Use the in-game settings window (F11); pick the category with the ◀ ▶ arrows at the top. Values are stored in BepInEx/config/com.focabr.gk2.autokeeper.cfg.

Support

Please report bugs, ask for help with the settings or suggest features through GitHub issues — pick a template (Bug, Help with settings or Suggestion). Comments here cannot hold the files needed to debug.

Minimum for a bug report:

• mod version (title of the status panel / F11 window) and game version;
• what happened, what you expected and the steps to reproduce;
• <game>/BepInEx/LogOutput.log — copy it before restarting the game (the game overwrites it on every start);
• if the bot got stuck or went to the wrong place: press F10 at that moment and attach the file from BepInEx/config/AutoKeeper/dumps/ (zipped if large);
• your settings: BepInEx/config/com.focabr.gk2.autokeeper.cfg renamed to .txt.

Next steps

• Burial: after the autopsy, carry the body to the graveyard, dig a grave you placed with the graveyard builder, bury it and close the grave with the shovel (in testing, not available in the settings yet).

Notes

• Back up your saves before using any mod: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Lazy Bear Games\Graveyard Keeper 2\.
• When reporting bugs to the game developers, disable mods first (the game logs that a mod loader is present).
