Graveyard planning

Graveyard Quality Calculator

Compare the visible positive and negative graveyard markers shown in the developer screenshots. This is a quick estimator, not a complete save-data parser or a confirmed full-release formula.

How to read the result: the calculator adds the visible +6, +5, +3, and +0 markers and subtracts visible -3 markers. It does not model hidden skull caps, fences, corpse quality, recipes, or future patches.

Worked example

If your layout shows two +3 markers and one -3 marker, enter 2 in “+3 markers” and 1 in a negative-marker field. The calculator reports +6 positive, -3 negative, and a net visible score of +3. With a target of 9, the result shows that the visible markers are 6 points below that target.

A +0 marker does not change the total. You can still count it to keep a record of the visible layout without treating it as a score increase.

Known limits

  • Use the number shown over each object in your game. Count each object once, even if it could fit more than one negative-marker category.
  • Do not use this result to infer corpse quality, fence caps, white-skull caps, crafting costs, or milestone thresholds.
  • If your game displays a value other than +6, +5, +3, 0 or -3, this calculator cannot include it.
