Workshop Guide
DIVE or DIE Workshop crafting tiers, Blueprint requirements, and equipment progression from Basic to Eldritch items.
Crafting Hub for Survival
The Workshop transforms salvaged resources into diving equipment, weapons, healing items, and light sources. Blueprints found in underwater sarcophagi unlock new recipes. Without the correct Blueprint, you cannot craft advanced gear regardless of material stockpiles.
Assign a survivor with the Machines passion trait for doubled experience gain. Higher Workshop experience unlocks crafting efficiency perks over time.
Crafting Tiers
Tier 1 — Basic items: Diving Knife, basic oxygen tanks, simple lights. Tier 2 — Advanced items: Nailgun, improved tanks, reinforced cutting tools. Tier 3 — Electronic items: advanced weapons and utility gear. Tier 4 — Eldritch items: endgame equipment requiring Blessed materials.
Each tier requires specific upgrade materials, often including Blessed variants found only in blessed biomes or during the Gazing Moon event.
Blueprint Priority List
Early priority: Diving Knife, Lantern, Oxygen Tank upgrade. Mid-game: Nailgun, advanced backpack, harpoon variants. Late-game: Eldritch weapons and depth-specific tools revealed by Map exploration. Always open sarcophagi when found — Blueprints are the gating resource for progression.
