Semi-Auto Guide for Limitless Survivor

Patch 1.0.06 (July 30, 2026) added Semi-Auto to Limitless Survivor — a middle ground between manual runs and full Auto-play. After you clear Hard Floor 5, Semi-Auto unlocks and can automatically learn new skills, upgrade existing skills, and select stat bonuses during level-up prompts. It does not replace movement or full unattended farming; think of it as automating build decisions while you still steer the character.

This guide explains unlock requirements, controls, how Semi-Auto differs from Auto-Play Guide AFK farming, and when to enable it during Hard and Extra Floors pushes.

How to unlock Semi-Auto

Tam Lab’s 1.0.06 patch notes state Semi-Auto unlocks after clearing Hard Floor 5. You must progress through Normal bands and enter Hard difficulty first — see Hard and Extra Floors for when Hard is worth attempting.

Until Hard Floor 5 is cleared:

  • Semi-Auto toggle does nothing or stays hidden in menus
  • Manual skill picks and stat choices remain the default
  • Auto-Play Guide still handles cleared-floor AFK on Normal bands

After unlock, verify the feature in controls settings or the in-run toggle before relying on it during a prestige re-climb.

Controls and toggle

Keyboard: press T to toggle Semi-Auto on or off mid-run.

Controller: press Left Trigger (LT) to toggle.

Patch 1.0.07 fixed incorrect Semi-Auto tutorial text in the controls tutorial — if instructions looked wrong on 1.0.06, update Steam and re-read the tutorial (Patch 1.0.07 Menu Navigation).

Semi-Auto state persists within a run until you toggle off or exit. There is no substitute for checking your five-skill bar after dense level-up chains — automation picks quickly, not always optimally for your Best Builds plan.

What Semi-Auto automates

When enabled, Semi-Auto handles build menu decisions:

  1. Learn new skills when level-up offers appear — fills toward your five-skill cap without manual clicks
  2. Upgrade existing skills when upgrades are offered
  3. Select stat bonuses from level-up reward pools

It does not automatically:

  • Move your character (you still dodge manually unless full Auto-play is also active — confirm in-game behavior on your build version)
  • Choose Prestige timing or spend Yellow Crystals
  • Appraise or skip Artifact menus — see Artifacts and Prestige QoL Update
  • Replace floor selection or AFK session planning

Use Semi-Auto when level-up spam slows Hard/Extra pushes; disable it when you need precise Skill Tier List picks for a boss check.

Many players enable Semi-Auto during active Hard farming while keeping Auto-play off, then switch to Auto-play on proven Normal floors for overnight crystals — Yellow Crystals and How to Farm Artifacts.

Build and progression tips

Before enabling on a new Hard floor:

After Prestige: Semi-Auto accelerates re-climbs through low floors where level-ups fire constantly. Pair with 1.0.03 bulk stat upgrade (Ctrl / RB) between runs — Bulk Stat Upgrade.

Attack Count cap: Automated picks may favor attack-count bonuses; remember overflow converts to Attack Power multiplier at launch — Attack Count Cap.

Patch context

Full timeline: Updates Hub.

Semi-Auto rewards players who reached Hard content — use it to reduce menu fatigue, not to skip learning floor mechanics.
