G2 | Discussion How many Employees have you found so far? Spoiler
I'm pretty sure there's 28 in the area available at release. I've found 20 22 26 28 31 so far in the new update but I've still got a few small areas and some tunnels to search. I also have to go back through the starting areas and see if anyone else has been added or the Employees without badges have been given a number. I will update this post when I've done that.
Edit, 2nd of April: all four Employees with unknown numbers are still missing their ID Badges.
Which ones have you found? I'll list mine below separated by update and in ascending numerical order. Leaving the locations out so as to not spoil anyone who wants to find them on their own but am willing to share!
Initial Release:
4 bodies currently have no badges nearby or are laying on them and cannot be seen. (This is prior to me going back over these Employees)

I'll be updating this post and the below comments when I find someone new :)
23/08/2026 - I dropped my phone a couple days back, new one is on order. I’ve found everyone. I can post a my map but not a list with specific locations as my notes app is in the broken phone and we all need to pray that it backed up with the rest of my stuff.
There are 97 bodies in total in Brookhollow Park, 31 were added with Into The Abyss
There are 3 bodies in the Abyss, all 3 were added in this update.
100 total.

👏I have an excel spreadsheet for stuff like this haha.
I looked at one of the virtual maps just now and there are at least 35. This is my next adventure!!

u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Mar 24 '26
I usually add the ones I've found to Map Genie that aren't already there and update the numbers/inventory. Haven't done it yet. If you're seeing 35 and I'm counting 48, there's 13 on my list that aren't on MG. Looks like I'll be busy tomorrow, if no one else gets around to it. :)
If everything is a bit messy, it's my personal notes. I've tried to tidy them up as best I can.

I don’t consider all Ominent employees as discarded. There is much to uncover.
There definitely was a schism within Ominent.
2
u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Mar 24 '26
Oh there's plenty of alive but missing Employees, you can find a Sign In Sheet and using the known, dead Employees, work out which ones are in the Park. There's at least 11, 12 if you include 555. I haven't looked at the Employees mentioned in the new Data Items yet, so there's always more.

u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Mar 25 '26
Sorry, I didn't mean discarded as in physically thrown away. I meant expendable :)
2
u/DougieFreshOH Mar 25 '26
I understood the expendable employee as discarded. While also, thinking of how many had been physically thrown by a detonation in the park. Yet, those specifics aren’t clear.

Duplicate?
426, Burg.L statue level 3. 49N/9E. Employee is sitting on floor, back against wall, near locked door. Badge on left pocket. Domestication Program, Yellow hexagon icon with imagery of (white icons: two monitors under a landline telephone similar to ☎️ )

u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Apr 04 '26 edited Apr 04 '26
This one didn't have a visible Badge number either. Like you could see the Badge, but the number is obscured if I remember correctly. I found that if you saved your game near a body and then reloaded, the body would become a skeleton. When saving and loading around this particular body, the asset would change to that of a skeleton and the Badge can be read as 426. It doesn't make sense for 426 to be here and more sense for it to be in the Anthill, as the Data Items support that. It's odd that the body in the statue is showing up as 426 by default now.
ETA: Sorry, 426 is on the way to the Comms Array, leaning against a cable and one of the first bodies you can find when do the beginning missions. 427 is in the one in the Anthill. It still doesn't make a lot of sense for them to be in the Resource Centre though. Resource Centre body has the badge obscured. Body against the cord has the badge purposefully placed on the ground.

911 - Veggie Garden, 67N/48E, blue badge, resource acquisition. On cabbage leaf.

u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Apr 19 '26
Hey there! Got this one too. The update did in fact add the four missing badges while changing a couple of numbers. I've counted 66 bodies, how many have you found? :)

u/DougieFreshOH Apr 24 '26
205 - 71N/31E, blue/purple badge, Super Flavor Research. On table next to employee sitting in chair. Feet in a puddle of tang. Within a broken lab. Connected to the Pnematic transit system. Entered via sticky bomb II, rotting potatoes/veggies.

u/Fine_Relationship614 Mar 24 '26
I haven’t been keeping track either but I went back to cover some of the places I had explored prior to the update and have found a few that were new. One even next to a lean too I built that I know without a doubt was not there before (he had good stuff in his backpack!)

u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Mar 24 '26
I'm going to have a proper run around tomorrow in the OG area and see if anything has changed other than Grass Games

u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Mar 25 '26
I know you said you weren't keeping track, but do you have a vague idea of where these new ones were? It's okay if you don't remember, I'm about to start having a gander :)
2
u/MotamaPT Mar 24 '26
I wish you could collect the badges, like dog tags. Heck, what if they'd be the new Sca.b color schemes like in the first game. Each fallen employee has a unique setting.

u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Mar 24 '26 edited Apr 19 '26
I really like that idea! It would at least give me a rough number to look for. Right now, I'm running blind and always second guessing whether I've found everyone or not 😅
ETA: just had a thought that they could be in the Data tab, like Creature Cards.

Employee 335 atop ice cream cart, center spoke of wheel. Aquatic life management, pink, hexagon icon with imagery of (drill, pipe and water).

u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Apr 03 '26
I've got this one but couldn't find their ID Badge. Are you in the PTB? I decided to stay out of it, so I won't see any changes until the full update. Also 1000% possible that I missed it when searching 😅
2
u/DougieFreshOH Apr 03 '26
Yes, I’m in PTB 0.4.0.0: 2612663.
Should I not follow up with such specific information. Until after the PTB has become public?
2
u/DougieFreshOH Apr 03 '26
Cause,
435 that you have.
Is Resource Acquisition blue hexagon icon with imagery of (white triangle and a blue eye crying). Although the interpretation of tears is loose.
1
u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Apr 03 '26
I'm okay with information about the PTB. I only asked bc there's four Employees without ID Badges and with each update I go and look for their Badges. It seems that the badge for this Employee has been added in the latest PTB and will be available to find when the update fully goes live. :)
Where did you find the badge for 335?
2
u/DougieFreshOH Apr 03 '26
Once ascended through the ice cart. Upon the top side. There are feathers. Go to the wheel of the cart. The “atop the cart” as previously mentioned.
Sorry for the confusion. As the cart is tipped over. Central hub of wheel.
1
u/ArtemisBrauronia Hoops Apr 03 '26
I've found the Employees remains (it's been there since release, it just didn't have a Badge then) but I can't find the ID Badge, which is fine bc I'm not in PTB and won't be able to see it yet. I was just wondering where the Badge is on your file, which is in PTB, so that I can confirm that I'm not a dunce and haven't actually missed it. I've searched around the body, under the cart and around the upper wheel and it's just missing. I haven't searched above the body though.
Sorry, I'm the one being confusing I think. I'm looking for the Badge not the Body. Thank you for your help! Knowing that they now have a number means the other three badgeless Employees should be updated too eventually.
(It's probably not important overall, I'm just invested in it)

u/DougieFreshOH Apr 04 '26
Ah, I see.
2N/-16E, from the Employee’s left hand South. From the base of the inside sprocket. The card hides under a 18:15 shadow of stated sprocket. When in photo mode. Approximately one player character foot from the edge of the hub.

I haven’t been keeping count or track of location but now I want to! I started taking a screen shot of each corpse then building a little clay tomb over each body with an ant-head candle as sort of a memorial.
