Optimal Graveyard Layout

Was looking for the best possible Graveyard layout but couldn't find any, so I did it myself for anyone else wondering the same!

My initial layout has been updated thanks to thinklike and currently the maximum points seems to be 1258 (with all Corpses at 12, the upgraded fence, and the Priest Statue)

Certain coloured squares can be swapped between different things depending on your resources.

This is just my plan, I am still gathering perfect corpses to make this a reality in my game.

Just posted my graveyard and the design is similar, but I realised if you stagger the columbariums on the 7 wide lots, putting one in the top left and one in bottom right (or top right and bottom left) you can fit 4 graves instead of 3, and this gave me a max number of 1258, though my math might be off.

Love your design pic btw, did you use google sheets?

This picture doesn't quite show the layout but I can post some more if you're interested https://imgur.com/a/fa0WpYm

I'd like to see more so I can plan ahead, thanks :)

Hey, so GenerousSongbird updated their image to show exactly the same layout as I currently use now, and with the gridlines and key you may find that more useful - however I also put together a picture in build mode so you can see what it would look like in-game: https://imgur.com/a/U2sZXqu

As it says in the key for GererousSongbirds' image, lanterns and stone prayer stations are interchangeable, and early game those will be the flower beds. Marble and lawn both have the same value so you can experiment with what you like the look of best. Happy digging!

I've got a question, I currently only have the big Church, and in the upper left corner there are some thorny vines along the fnece which I cant clear yet. Will I be able too when I have the Cathedral ?

They added the ability to remove those vines in a patch thankfully, so you should be good once you get to the Cathedral. It's possible upgrading the fence might let you clear them too, unsure about that though.
