Graveyard Keeper 2 zombies: army and workers
Separate zombie army questions from worker automation: official product descriptions confirm the army theme, while launch-day guides report workers with Mastery and tool requirements. Unit roles, recruitment, stats, and combat steps remain unverified. Keep combat questions separate from job setup until a current source connects those systems.

Separate the army theme from worker automation: official pages confirm the broad undead feature, while guides report that workers need job Mastery and suitable tools. Unit roles, recruitment, stats, and combat strategy remain pending confirmation. The collected material does not establish that the same rules apply to combat units and workers.

Are zombies used for an army, work, or both?
Official product pages describe an undead army, while two launch-day guides discuss zombie workers as part of production automation. That supports treating combat and work as separate player questions rather than assuming that one set of rules answers both. The sources do not provide a complete unit roster or explain whether every zombie can serve both roles. Recruitment steps, assignments, combat behavior, and unit stats remain pending confirmation.
How should you choose a corpse for a grave or worker?
The guides report different priorities for the two outcomes: white-skull potential is associated with grave rating, while red-skull potential is associated with zombie perks. They also describe autopsy as a way to alter a body before making that choice. Treat the distinction as a guide report until the current interface confirms the same result. Exact formulas, perk limits, and whether skulls affect worker performance remain unknown.
Which zombie instructions still need a full-release check?
The official feature description does not specify how to recruit, equip, upgrade, or command a unit. It also does not give battle conditions or a recommended army composition. Demo discussions and old Graveyard Keeper (1) pages are excluded from the current answer. Unit roles and current combat steps remain marked for review until checked in a versioned build.
Check the linked sources and their dates before using version-sensitive advice.
