Graveyard Keeper 2 Tech Points: Red, Green & Blue

The three-colour economy explained — where points come from, and how not to starve one colour.

"How do I get (blue) tech points?" is the single most-asked progression question around launch — it even shows up in SERP titles of competing guides. Here is what is verifiable today, and what waits for launch data. Last verified: 2026-09-21 (demo build). Re-check after the 2026-09-22 launch..

The three colours

ColourVerified in demoTypical gating
RedCounter shown top-left (demo HUD reads 115 at the tech tree); earned through building & crafting activityBuilding & production tech
GreenSecond counter (demo HUD reads 113); earned through nature activity — harvesting, gardeningNature & farming tech
BlueThird counter (demo HUD reads 100); rarer in the demo's openingAdvanced & knowledge tech

Exact yields per action are launch-gated: the demo does not display per-action values, and guessing them is how bad guides happen.

How to earn points (verified behaviour)

  • Do the activity the colour belongs to — the counters tick up as you gather, craft and build; the demo shows them rising during normal play.
  • Watch the HUD while you work — the three droplet counters next to the energy bar update live.
  • Balance your loop — crafting-only sessions starve green; gathering-only sessions starve red. Mix them.

How to spend points without regret

  1. Buy bottlenecks, not toys — processing tech first (early tech order).
  2. Keep a buffer — questlines can demand a colour you just emptied.
  3. Check prerequisites — the tree chains (e.g. Oiled wood behind woodworking) in the demo UI.

Questions players ask (answered honestly)

  • "Is there a fast blue-point farm?" — Not verifiable in the demo; if a full-game method confirms after launch, it goes here with a stamp. Beware pre-launch pages listing exact rates.
  • "Do points reset?" — Nothing in the demo suggests resetting; earned points persist across the demo session.
  • "What's the purple gem in the HUD?" — Visible next to the energy bar, but its role isn't demo-verified; we won't guess.
FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about this topic.

How do I get tech points in Graveyard Keeper 2?

Play the matching activity: crafting and building feed red, nature activity feeds green, and blue accrues more slowly through the demo's opening. The counters update live in the HUD.

How do I get blue tech points?

Blue is the scarcest of the three in the demo. Keep playing varied activities and hold a buffer; exact blue farm rates are launch-gated until they can be verified.

What are red and green points for?

Red gates building/production tech, green gates nature/farming tech — matching the demo's tech tree categories.

Can I see exact point yields per action?

Not yet. The demo doesn't print per-action yields, and this site doesn't print numbers it can't verify. Post-launch re-check is planned.
