Quick answer: Zombie workers can operate machines, support factories and participate in combat. Build one complete production route first, confirm inputs and output storage, then add more workers.

What is confirmed

  • Official material confirms zombie-based automation and worker-operated machines.
  • The Town Workshop screenshot shows conveyor-style production.
  • A Steam achievement tracks resurrecting 50 zombies.
  • Define the output you need.
  • Check every station, extension and storage point in the route.
  • Assign the worker and run a small batch.
  • Inspect stalled cargo before adding more porters or machines.

What not to assume

More workers do not fix a broken recipe, full destination or missing technology. Diagnose the chain before scaling it.
