Saturation Diving Ore & Currency
Sanguinite, Cobalt & Pearls — what is confirmed, what is notSaturation Diving runs on one currency and two maybes. Sanguinite is confirmed by the game loop itself: the veins on the pipelines are the objective, the haul is the wallet, and a badge literally tells you to strip the whole map of it. Cobalt and Pearls are named in-game but nobody has documented what they buy — so this page says exactly that instead of inventing a shop.
Sanguinite "Sang"
The red ore growing on the oil pipelines. You break veins off with your pickaxe, clear the pipeline, and bank the haul in the bell's storage unit.
What it does
- Buying every upgrade at the NSA Atlantica supply interface
- Renting monster log information — and rented info is not permanent, so re-reading a log costs again
- The badge "Dig dig dig to the center of the earth!" defines the endgame: clear the entire map of Sanguinite past level six
The catch
Carrying it paints a target on you: the Slate-Bellied Cowfish senses unrefined Sanguinite and attacks divers who hold it. Empty-handed, the same fish is harmless.
Cobalt
A second material players have collected on dives ("We got cobalt"). What it is spent on, or whether the community-mentioned Cobalt Pick is real, is not documented.
What it does
- No confirmed purchase or recipe
- A "Cobalt Pick" name exists in one community wiki stub with zero official or gameplay evidence
The catch
Nothing confirmed — which is itself the honest answer.
Pearls
Named in the official description of the Elite Diver Lite gamepass: "+15% Pearls earned". Every other source about Pearls is silent.
What it does
- Earned +15% faster with the Elite Diver Lite gamepass (400 R$)
- No confirmed sink, shop or conversion — what they are for is unverified
The catch
Nothing confirmed — which is itself the honest answer.
The Sanguinite loop, end to end
- Descend from the diving bell to a dive site.
- Mine the veins off the pipelines with your pickaxe — clearing the pipeline and collecting Sanguinite are the same action.
- Bank it in the storage unit inside the bell before extraction.
- Spend it at the NSA Atlantica supply interface — see the upgrades guide for the recommended order.
- Or rent information — monster log intel can be rented for Sanguinite, but it is not permanent, so deep-site divers pay again for a refresher on what hunts them.
