Graveyard Keeper 2 Inventory Guide: How to Get More Slots

Inventory space becomes a problem quickly in Graveyard Keeper 2. The player needs to carry tools, crafting materials, food, potions and quest items while travelling between the Yard and Town. Fortunately, several bags and one Smithing perk can increase carrying capacity. Mods also offer alternatives for players who want to spend less time managing their inventory. Let’s have a closer look at these options!

How to Increase Inventory Space in Graveyard Keeper 2

The main way to expand inventory space in Graveyard Keeper 2 is to purchase bags from town merchants.

Each bag occupies one backpack slot but opens a separate inventory with either 9 or 16 slots. The net gain is therefore eight or 15 slots, respectively.

However, bags only accept specific categories of items. For example, the Farmer’s Bag stores seeds, crops and fertiliser, while the Builder’s Bag holds building materials and kits. The player cannot put unrelated items into these bags, so choosing the right combination matters.

On the other hand, Universal Bags from the Tailor can store all types of items, but the player needs to upgrade the Tailor Stall to access its bigger version: 4 * 4 slots.

The perk Deep Pockets and some other mods can help increase the inventory size as well.

All Inventory Bags and Where to Buy Them

The following table lists the merchants that sell each bag, its capacity, and the items it can hold.

Merchant	Bag type	Size	Items stored
Apothecary	Alchemist’s Bag	16 slots	Alchemy ingredients and products
Vegetable Stand	Farmer’s Bag	16 slots	Seeds, crops and fertiliser
Tailor	Universal Bag	9 slots	Almost all items
Tailor (Tier II)	Big Universal Bag	16 slots	Almost all items
Builder	Builder’s Bag	16 slots	Building materials and kits
Smithy	Tool Bag	9 slots	Tools, weapons and armour
Furniture Maker	Builder’s Bag	16 slots	Building materials and kits
Baker	Food Bag	9 slots	Food, drinks and edible crops
Fish Stand	Fisherman’s Bag	9 slots	Fish and bait
Tavern	Food Bag	9 slots	Food, drinks and edible crops
Brewery	Food Bag	9 slots	Food, drinks and edible crops
Alchemist	Potion Bag	9 slots	Different tipes of potions
Jeweler	Tool Bag	9 slots	Tools, weapons and armour

The most useful early purchases are the Universal Bag and Builder’s Bag. The Big Universal Bag offers even greater flexibility, but the player must upgrade the Tailor to Tier II before purchasing it. Builder’s Bag is useful once the player starts to rebuild the town, because the repair usually requires several different kinds of Furniture Kits, Wooden Kits, and so on. Therefore, it is highly recommended for the player to repair the Tailor Shop and the Builder Shop first.

The player can purchase more than one bag, such as multiple Big Universal Bags together with other bags.

Get the Deep Pockets Perk

The Smithing perk tree contains Deep Pockets, which adds five slots directly to the backpack. Unlike bags, these extra slots do not restrict the items the player can carry. This is the most straightforward way to add inventory slots in Graveyard Keeper 2.

Use Mods to Carry More Items

Two types of inventory mods can help, depending on the problem.

Better Item Stacks increases the maximum stack size of stackable items, potentially up to 999 depending on its configuration. This reduces the number of slots consumed by materials and other stackable resources.

Better Player Inventory is another option. It raises the inventory to 40 slots by default and allows further customisation, with a reported maximum of 300 slots.

On the other hand, using these mods can potentially tip the balance of the gameplay experience. All in all, the player may find purchasing 3 – 5 bags provides enough inventory space to finish the game. If the player is more ambitious about fixing more townhouses or building more elaborate farms and factory structures, it may require more bags.
