Saturation Diving Patch Notes & Roadmap

This page is the changelog mirror for Saturation Diving on Roblox. We prefer platform stamps over rumours. Dated facts from September 2026 belong at the top of every diver’s notes:

2 September 2026 — Creature Feature begins

Official Discord #🤿announcements (developer Bloogia): the first official CREATURE FEATURE kicks off — submit your own monster design in the new #creature-feature channel for a chance to see it added live in game. Selection is vote-based: the most upvoted and reacted posts become finalists, then one big final vote decides which design gets in. Bloogia clarified the winning community monster will not be in the next update (September 3) but probably the one after that.

1 September 2026 — Elite Diver+ subscription launch

Official Discord #🤿announcements (developer Bloogia): a small update adds Elite Diver+, a paid subscription granting access to Experimental Parties (early access to small pieces of new updates — clarified later that subscribers do not get entire updates early) plus the Sanguinite Modifier and Max Monster Modifier settings. The same update reworked monster sanguinite explosions. Later the same day, after many complaints, the Elite Diver+ price was cut in half; players who bought at the original price receive two cosmetics as compensation. Exact Robux price never published in the announcements.

31 August 2026 — Grimmer Depths teaser

Official Discord #sneak-peeks: the next big update is named “Grimmer Depths”. Teasers so far show a new map called Drownwood, three new monsters (revealed as memes), and a new death Sanguinite outline effect (shown on a Crownspine drop). Release date not announced yet.

28 August 2026 — Place update

Roblox stamped the experience as updated again. The description still says beta, unfinished features, and bugs. Visits sit around 3.1 million with ~99k favorites. Voice chat remains off. Official VIP servers remain off. Thumbnail credits remain @Wyster7a and @kqnoya. New wiki pages for this stamp: Music Box, Pearls, Grimreefs.

27 August 2026 — Prior place stamp

The previous Roblox update stamp before the 28 August push. Same beta warnings. Keep both dates when comparing older Discord screenshots.

23 August 2026 — Fifteen badges

The_BucketHead shipped the first public badge pass. Live awards include Primitive Diver through Mastercraft Diver, Hunter / Hunter Killer, Simply Better (two grimreefs in one level), Sanguinite map clear past level six, P.L.O.P, six upgrades, monster logs, Music Box, and the Crash Plateau Mysterious Log. Full table: badges. New guides: dive levels, sanguinite, items, monster logs.

21 August 2026 — Elite Diver Lite

One live gamepass: +15% Pearls earned and access to premium suits and accessories. Details: gamepasses. This is not a VIP server pass.

Older community write-ups below still use zone names (Twilight Reef, Mid Ridge, Abyssal Hollow, Black Mound) as lobby shorthand. Crash Plateau is the crash-site name confirmed by badge text. If a row below disagrees with a Roblox stamp, the stamp wins.

Beta Roadmap (Public Trello)

The developer publishes a public Trello board that tracks planned work across four columns: Backlog, In Progress, Beta Wave, and Live. The cards we are watching most closely right now:

• Wave 3 beta invite expansion — opening the playtest to a wider audience.
• Black Mound boss encounter — final encounter for hadal-tier divers.
• Crew voice chat — proximity VOIP for sub-to-sub and diver-to-diver comms.
• Custom sub skins — cosmetic shell swaps earned through milestone events.

Patch Log

Wave 2.4 — August 2026

• Added: Abyssal Hollow zone — new pipe-rich biome between Mid Ridge and Black Mound.
• Added: Hydraulic Core-Bit drill — S-tier mining option for Engineers.
• Rebalanced: ore drop rates in Twilight Reef reduced by 15% to push teams toward Mid Ridge.
• Fixed: oxygen drain no longer pauses when a diver is inside a salvage crate.

Wave 2.3 — July 2026

• Added: Pulse Array Mk III — S-tier sonar unit with three-wall reveal.
• Added: Salvager role — fourth and final core role.
• Rebalanced: Black Mound soft-lock loop when an entity despawns mid-encounter.

• Fixed: PipeDrill macro support for the pneumatic spindle.

Wave 2.1 — May 2026

How to Report a Bug

1. Reproduce the bug in a private server. If you cannot reproduce it on demand, the developer may not be able to fix it.
2. Record a 30-second clip showing the issue. The developer triages bugs faster with video than with text.
3. Open a ticket in the official Discord #bug-reports channel. Include your platform (PC / mobile / console), diver role, gear loadout, and zone.
4. Mirror the report on the public Trello Bug Reports column if it affects multiple divers. The developer upvotes the most-reproduced issues first.

Beta Wipe Calendar

Beta wipes are scheduled (not random) and always announced 48 hours in advance on Discord. When a wipe is imminent:

• Spend credits on consumables, not permanent upgrades.
• Bank rare salvage in your sub’s storage locker — it persists across wipes.
• Avoid pushing into Black Mound the night before a wipe — losing a hadal run to a forced reset is brutal.

Pair Updates With the Tier List

The Gear Tier List is refreshed after every Wave listed above. If you see a new S-tier item in this log, check the tier list immediately to see where it lands in the priority order. The upgrades guide walks through the actual upgrade tree for the current meta.
