How we use sources
- Guide pages paraphrase and link these articles; they do not invent organ skull values.
- The live calculator reads
data/rules.json(0.2.0).meta.sourceslists graveyardkeeper2.io embalming and corpse pages, gk2db, the patch-note mirror, and the original games.gg autopsy guide. - Lye / Glue / Gold / Silver are not in the calculator. Skull +1 Red and hard-organ random outcomes stay, and the pages label them unconfirmed or early-guide estimates.
Internal pages built from these sources

- Burial prep · Zombie prep · Reanimation Liquid

FAQ
Is this an official source list?
No. Unofficial fan site. Lazy Bear Games and the publishers did not review these pages.
Will you add more links?
Yes when a new public guide changes a rule we ship. Updates go on the changelog.
Why aren’t all calculator numbers on Wikily?
Embalming grades and Surgeon’s Error follow graveyardkeeper2.io. Bone, Skin, Skull (+1 Red, unconfirmed) and hard-organ outcomes are still fixed planner deltas, labeled where they differ from the organ-carried model.
