Machina Tools

Machina Tools

is an experimental plugin, based on the investigation done in the [XF] Machina Research Group (https://t.me/MachinaResearchGroup), the "Machina-Knowledge"-Document and @perringaiden 's "Machina Tools".

Please note, that Machina Tools are experimental. There is no portaldata recorded nor available after a reload of IITC.

The plugin has three main usages:

1) Portal and cluster details (info)

When viewing the portal details of a Machina Portal it is possible to find the portals parent or seed. From the seed's portal details it possible to show the complete Machina Cluster's structure as well as link length, link times and other valuable information.

2) Machina Level Up Link Radius (layer)

When a Machina portal levels up it can throw links and spawn/spread new Machina portals. The range where such a portal could appear is within the indicated radius. The portals of a cluster span a conflict zone.

3) Machina Conflict Area (Layer)

When moving around on the map, more and more conflict zones show up. These get merged into an conflict area layer. A button on the left side indicates whether recording is activated or not. With active recording it is possible to move around the map and the conflict area will "remember" the already inspected conflict zones.

Generally the conflict zones get calculated from the Machina portal's current Level. Machina Tools additionally does a first "best guess", when it only sees a Machina link on the map: depending on the link's length the minimum level for the two portals is calculated and used. When the exact level for the portals is available the conflict zone gets updated and merged.
