Graveyard Keeper 2 Stuck After Upgrading the Nun's Base
Finishing the nun's base upgrade could leave the Keeper trapped against the building. 1.009 names this exact case — and ships a specific behaviour: you are moved clear of the building when the upgrade finishes.
The exact fix
Changelog 1.009 (6 October 2026), in its own “Softlocks & collisions” section: “Fixed getting stuck after upgrading the nun's base. You are moved clear of the building when the upgrade finishes.” That wording matters: the patch does not only unstick older saves — it changes what happens at the moment the upgrade completes.
What to do
- On 1.009 or newer, running the upgrade again is the test: the finish should place you clear of the building.
- Locked right now on a pre-1.009 build: update first, then reload a save from before the upgrade if you are still stuck.
- If the lock reappears on the current build, report it in-game (button added in 1.006) and mention the upgrade moment — that is the exact scene the changelog describes.
What is not covered here
There is no changelog line about the nun's base blocking progression or about upgrade costs. This page covers only the movement lock that appears when the upgrade finishes. Other 1.009 fixes — the load crash, the HUD lock after returning to the main menu, collision cleanups at conveyors and workstations — live on the other pages.
