Stalcraft Wiki: Sponge
STALCRAFT Meta note
Sponge is a gravity artifact that adds laceration and explosion protection, reaction to laceration and a little carry weight. Its downside is radiation buildup. It fits builds that face mutants or explosives, and its additional stats can add health regeneration.

In-game description (EXBO)
Despite the fact that the Sponge always consists of three fragments, the most important of them is definitely the small quartz crystal at its center. What makes the Sponge—or rather its "core"—truly peculiar is that any attempt to separate the other parts causes them to disintegrate instantly, only to be replaced by small solid formations that gradually take the shape of the separated fragments.

How these values are calculated
STALCRAFT Meta recalculates these stats for the level, quality and additional stats you pick, with the artifact model of the Artifact Optimizer and Build Calculator.
Positive stats: top of the stat's range × quality × (1 + 0.3 × level ÷ 15). Hazards grow with quality. One additional stat becomes active every 5 levels.
Container effectiveness is not applied here (100%); the Build Calculator applies the container you choose.
