Naming conflict Unverified naming
Wikily Corpses and autopsy (most detailed GK2 table we found): mixes are crafted at the Formulation Bench and applied at Embalming Table I/II. Grades I–III come from craft quality. Names are Solution / Injection for Corpses and Solution / Injection for Zombies — not Lye, Glue, Silver, or Gold.
games.gg (and our calculator’s current toggles) still describe a
Lye → clear Red → Glue / Silver / Gold sequence from early launch articles.
We left data/rules.json embalming entries unchanged because mapping those planner IDs
onto Wikily mixes is not clearly 1:1. Confirm which reagents your build shows before spending stock.
Wikily mixes (verify in-game)
| Mix | Δ Red | Δ White | Made from (wiki) | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solution for Corpses I–III | 0 | +1 / +2 / +3 | Melted Fat + Preservative | Burial White bump |
| Injection for Corpses I–III | −1 / −2 / −3 | +1 / +2 / +3 | Melted Fat + Preservative + Comet’s Tail | Burial cleanup + White |
| Solution for Zombies I–III | +1 / +2 / +3 | 0 | Alcohol + Preservative | Add Red perk slots |
| Injection for Zombies I–III | +1 / +2 / +3 | −1 / −2 / −3 | Alcohol + Preservative + Comet’s Tail | Trade White → Red |
Planner toggles (rules.json — unverified names)
Still exposed on the calculator for sandboxing. Do not treat as confirmed GK2 item names.
| Planner label | Δ White | Δ Red | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lye Injection | +1 | +1 | games.gg: expand pool then clear extra Red. Unverified naming |
| Glue Injection | +1 | 0 | games.gg: safe White gain. Closest directional match to Solution for Corpses — not confirmed. |
| Silver Injection | +1 | −1 | Classic GK pattern / estimate. Directional match to Injection for Corpses I — not confirmed. |
| Gold Injection | +2 | −2 | games.gg: save for best corpses. Directional match to Injection for Corpses II — not confirmed. |
Suggested order
- Finish organ extractions first (autopsy / organs).
- Remove Dark Organs before any embalm (games.gg) so you don’t waste reagents.
- For burial: Blood/Fat soft cleanup, then corpse solutions / injections (verify UI).
- For zombies: avoid corpse mixes that scrub Red; use zombie solutions / injections and organ implants (zombie prep).
- If you still use planner Lye: only with a Red cleanup path afterward.
Caveats
- Embalming Table I unlocks with Embalming I tech; Table II with Embalming III (Wikily stations).
- Stacking limits, reagent costs, and exact grade rolls may differ on your save.
- Prima notes embalming becomes more relevant once you can raise White on exhumed / reworked bodies.
- Update
data/rules.jsononly when a clear 1:1 mapping to in-game names is confirmed — we intentionally left it alone this pass.

FAQ
Should I embalm before or after organ extraction?
After. Shape the corpse with organs first (and remove Dark Organs), then polish so you don’t waste reagents.
Are Lye / Glue / Gold / Silver real GK2 item names?
Unverified against Wikily’s Solution/Injection for Corpses/Zombies table. Treat calculator labels as planner aliases until you see matching names in your embalming UI.
Which mix for burial?
Wikily: Solution for Corpses (+White) or Injection for Corpses (−Red / +White). Higher grades do more.
Which mix for zombies?
Wikily: Solution for Zombies (+Red) or Injection for Zombies (+Red / −White). Match collar capacity.
Where do I toggle planner injections?
On the calculator, open the Embalming fieldset and check the options you plan to model.
