Graveyard



The Graveyard is a mini-biome that appears when several Tombstones are in close proximity. As the number of Tombstones increase, the game colors in the vicinity become gradually more desaturated, mist accumulates on the ground, and lightning may randomly strike in the background. Graveyards cause Ghosts and Ravens to spawn, as well as night enemies like Zombies and Demon Eyes, even during daytime hours.

The Sunflower buff does not activate for players in a Graveyard.


 * Four tombstones will unlock crafting recipes for items such as the Gravedigger's Shovel and Stone Accent Slab.


 * Five tombstones allow Ghosts to spawn, as well as Zombies and Demon Eyes during the day.
 * Six tombstones allow Maggot Zombies to spawn.
 * Graveyard-exclusive NPC vendor stock exists, though only four NPCs are known so far to do so: the Painter, the Arms Dealer, the Clothier, and the Cyborg. Although, it is unknown what other requirements there may be and how many tombstones are required.

Tips

 * Avoid letting Tombstones accumulate around one's base/spawn point during the early game, as Ghosts have high health and damage output compared to starting characters, and the player will be bothered by Zombies and Demon Eyes.


 * Using sunflowers around common death spots such as arenas can help to prevent a graveyard biome from being created without the need to constantly mine tombstones. Another option is to mine one-tile gaps in the ground and platforms such that tombstones cannot be placed.
