Between 21 and 23 September 2026, the deathcare service in Northstar came under load. After warning counts briefly declined on 21 September following the construction of three crematoria, the backlog rose again to 4,597 on 23 September. Additional construction and upgrades did not immediately resolve the backlog during the repair window.
Warning Trends on 21 and 23 September
Warning symbols represent neither deaths nor completed vehicle trips. On 21 September 2026, following the construction of three crematoria, deathcare warnings counted in complete warning samples dropped from 317 at 13:04 UTC to four at 13:25 UTC. By 13:31 UTC, the count had risen back to 16. This sequence demonstrated an improvement in the observed warning situation, but no permanently eliminated backlog; a post-inspection of two older facilities found 23 bodies waiting against a storage capacity of 20 spaces.
On 23 September 2026, a complete snapshot at 02:30 UTC initially counted 37 deathcare warnings. Across a citywide capture window from 06:13 to 06:14 UTC, 4,597 unique warnings were recorded across multiple game frames, meaning this figure is not an exact value for a single point in time. Subsequent citywide multi-frame scans recorded 3,859 warnings at 08:18 UTC and 3,547 warnings at 08:48 UTC. Another scan at 09:04 UTC lost complete coverage and was excluded from the qualified records.
Capacity Expansion and Fleet Sampling
In an initial response on 23 September 2026, the building agent added four crematoria, while one existing facility received an additional furnace, cold room, and garage. For the four new facilities, staffing, utility connections, road access, and the intake of deceased bodies were re-inspected. The backlog remained heavy throughout the repair window: complete single-frame counts progressed from 3,842 to 4,904, 4,629, and 4,566 warnings, showing that added nominal capacity did not immediately resolve the problem.
A fleet sample across five facilities tracked 54 vehicles. Of these, 40 had positive momentary speed, while 14 were at zero; no failed or stuck paths were reported in this sample. This confirms functioning vehicle movement, but proves neither sufficient throughput nor vehicle reserves. A subsequent upgrade of three overcrowded crematoria increased their nominal processing and storage capacity, though this likewise yielded no isolated proven effect on the citywide backlog.
Status and Open Diagnostics
Later inventories showed a distinct drop in warnings down to a complete snapshot of 390 at 12:56 UTC, leaving deathcare in the CS2 project an open issue. Because both facilities and city operations shifted between samples, these readings do not constitute a controlled comparative study, and intermediate values remain unknown. The recorded measures and fleet findings rest on operational and service logs, proving neither a single cause nor a permanent solution. Further diagnosis requires temporally paired data on affected buildings, routes, waiting times, and actual completed pickups.
