Sanity Farming

General Settings

• The Use Sanity Potion + Use Originium and Perform Battles+ Material options work as OR conditions - the task will stop when any of these conditions is met.

  • Use Sanity Potion specifies how many times to replenish sanity (may use multiple potions at once).
  • Use Originium specifies how many Originium to use (one at a time). Originium won't be used if sanity potions are available.
  • Perform Battles specifies the number of battles to complete (e.g., "stop after 15 runs").
  • Material specifies how many of a specific material to obtain (e.g., "stop after getting 5 Orirock").

• Material and Stage Selection are independent options. Material only uses the material count as a stopping condition and doesn't automatically navigate to stages that drop that material.

• Use Originium is only checked after Use Sanity Potion. Since MAA only uses Originium when no sanity potions remain, checking Use Originium will automatically set Use Sanity Potion to 999, ensuring all potions are used first.

Examples

Use Sanity Potion	Use Originium	Perform Battles	Material	Result
				Uses current sanity and stops.
2				Uses current sanity, then uses sanity potions up to 2 times, then stops.
999	2			Uses current sanity, then all sanity potions, then Originium up to 2 times, then stops.
		2		Runs the selected stage 2 times, then stops.
			2	Farms until 2 of the specified material are obtained, then stops.
2		4		Runs the selected stage up to 4 times, using up to 2 sanity potions if needed, then stops.
2			4	Farms until 4 of the specified material are obtained, using up to 2 sanity potions if needed, then stops.
2		4	8	Runs the selected stage up to 4 times, using up to 2 sanity potions if needed. Stops early if 8 of the specified material are obtained before reaching 4 runs.
999	4	8	16	Runs the selected stage up to 8 times, using all sanity potions and up to 4 Originium if needed. Stops early if 16 of the specified material are obtained before reaching 8 runs.
	2			Uses current sanity, then stops if any sanity potions are available. If no potions, uses up to 2 Originium. Not MAA GUI behavior
2	4			Uses current sanity, then up to 2 sanity potions. If potions remain, stops; if no potions remain after using ≤2 potions, uses up to 4 Originium. Not MAA GUI behavior

Stage Selection

• If your desired stage isn't in the selection menu, choose Current/Last in MAA, then manually navigate to the stage in-game.
  Ensure you're on the stage details screen with the stage name and remaining sanity in the upper right and auto-deploy/start buttons in the lower right.
• If you're not on this screen, Current/Last will automatically enter the "last operation" stage shown on the bottom right of the terminal home screen.
• You can also enable Manual entry of stage names in Task Settings - Sanity Farming - Advanced Settings to manually input stage codes. Currently supported stages include:

  • All main story stages. You can add -NORMAL or -HARD at the end to switch between normal and challenge modes.

  • Resource stages like CE-6/LS-6 (LMD/EXP). Enter the exact code like CE-6 or LS-6. MAA will automatically switch to level 5 if level 6 isn't available.

  • Skill summary, voucher, and carbon stages (level 5 only). Enter exact codes like CA-5, AP-5, or SK-5.

  • All chip stages. Enter complete stage codes like PR-A-1.

  • For Annihilation mode, use these specific values:

    • Current annihilation: Annihilation
    • Chernobog: Chernobog@Annihilation
    • Lungmen Outskirts: LungmenOutskirts@Annihilation
    • Lungmen Downtown: LungmenDowntown@Annihilation

  • Side story stages like OF-1, OF-F3, and GT-5.

  • The last three stages of the current Side Story event. These will be shown at the bottom of the interface after automatically downloading updates from the API.

  • Rerun Side Story events: Enter SSReopen-<stage prefix> to farm all stages XX-1 through XX-9 in sequence, like SSReopen-IC.

Example Screen

Annihilation Mode

• MAA navigates to Annihilation using the button at the top-right of the terminal home screen. Ensure your selected Annihilation stage has unlocked Full Delegation and that you have enough PRTS Annihilation Delegation Cards.
• This feature is only recommended for stages where you've already achieved the 400-kill milestone.

Advanced Settings

Alternative Stages

Alternative stages are selected based on daily stage availability - MAA will choose the first available stage in the list.
This functions like a schedule, not as a fallback if the primary stage selection fails.

1. Example: If primary stage is CE-6/5 with alternatives 1-7 and LS-6/5:
   • If CE-6/5 is open today, MAA will run it and ignore the alternatives. If you haven't unlocked auto-deploy for CE-6/5, the task will fail.
   • If CE-6/5 is closed today, MAA will run 1-7 instead. If you haven't unlocked auto-deploy for 1-7, the task will fail.
   • Since 1-7 is a permanent stage that appears before LS-6/5 in the list, MAA will never run LS-6/5 in this scenario.
2. If the primary stage is Annihilation Mode:
   • Annihilation results won't affect the alternative stage logic - even if Annihilation fails, the task will continue.
   • Alternative stages will only inherit the Use Sanity Potion and Multiplier settings, ignoring Use Originium, Perform Battles, and Material settings.

Remaining Sanity

This option activates after the main Sanity Farming task ends, ignoring all Use Sanity Potion, Use Originium, Perform Battles, Material, and Multiplier settings. It simply uses up any remaining sanity and stops.

• Useful for farming a low-cost stage (like 1-7) with leftover sanity after your main stage becomes unaffordable.
• Also useful for automatically switching to single runs when you have insufficient sanity for your configured multiplier (e.g., if you set 1-7 for 6x runs but only have 30 sanity, it will automatically run five single 1-7 runs instead).
• The task will end if remaining sanity is insufficient (e.g., less than 6 sanity).
• If the selected remaining sanity stage is closed or unavailable, the task will fail.

Multiplier

MAA will use the specified battle multiplier setting:

• AUTO mode (0):

  • Automatically identifies and uses the maximum possible multiplier without wasting sanity
  • Proceeds to the Remaining Sanity option afterward (if enabled)

• Fixed value mode (1-6):

  • Uses exactly the specified multiplier
  • If current sanity is insufficient for the set multiplier (e.g., only enough for 5× but set to 6×), ends the task and proceeds to Remaining Sanity (if enabled)

• Disabled mode (-1):

  • Doesn't change the in-game multiplier setting
  • If sanity is insufficient for the current in-game multiplier setting, ends the task and proceeds to Remaining Sanity (if enabled)

Perform Battles

MAA will run up to the specified number of battles.

Example: Assuming you have 100 sanity and the stage costs 6 sanity:

• If Perform Battles is 10 and multiplier is 4: MAA will do 2 runs × 4× multiplier = 8 battles (floor(10/4) × 4 = 8), using 48 sanity. It won't do another 4× run since that would be 12 battles, exceeding the set limit of 10.
• If Perform Battles is 10 and multiplier is AUTO: MAA will do one 6× run plus one 4× run = 10 battles (6 + 4 = 10), using 60 sanity.

Drop Recognition

• Automatically recognizes and counts material drops, uploading data to both Penguin Statistics and Yituliu.
• You can set a custom Penguin Statistics user ID if desired.

Error Handling

• Automatically checks Auto Deploy if it's available.
• Automatically reconnects and continues tasks after disconnections or the daily 4 AM server reset.
• Continues tasks after level-ups.
• If auto-deploy fails, abandons the current operation and retries the battle.
