Fan Fields 2 is a user script that acts as plugin for Ingress Intel Total Conversion (Community Edition) · IITC-CE, which is a powerful browser add-on that modifies and enhances the official Ingress Intel map.

If you have no clue what Ingress is, it's time to move: This world around you is not what it seems. Our future is at stake, and you must choose a side.

The script calculates how to link the portals to create the largest tidy set of nested fields. To get an overview, consider to watch/read the reviews.

Fan Fields 2 — User Guide

Fan Fields 2 is an IITC plugin to plan fanfields/starfields/multilayer builds. It calculates a buildable link/field plan, key requirements, and basic AP stats.

Requirements

  • IITC CE

Required plugin

Supported plugins:

Quick start

  1. Select portals

    • Open Draw Tools.
    • Draw one or more polygons around the portals you want to include.
    • Polygons may overlap or be separate.

  2. Enable Fan Fields layers

    • In the layer chooser, enable:
      • Fanfield Links
      • Fanfield Fields
      • Fanfield Numbers

  3. Check the plan on the map

    • The plan is shown as red links.
    • Link directions are shown by dashed segments at the origin portal.

  4. Adjust the anchor (start portal)

    • Use Cycle Start to move the anchor along the outer hull portals.
    • To allow an inside portal to become anchor: place a Draw Tools marker on that portal, then use Cycle Start until it becomes the start portal.

  5. Choose build strategy

    • Inbounding: farm many keys at the anchor, link to it from other portals.
    • Outbounding: star-link from the anchor until the outgoing-link limit is reached.
    • Toggle Inbounding / Outbounding in the Fan Fields panel.

  6. (Optional) Avoid existing intel links

    • Toggle Respect Intel: ON/OFF to plan while avoiding crosslinks to current intel links.

  7. (Optional) Freeze the plan

    • Toggle Unlocked / Locked to prevent recalculation while inspecting details.

Fan Fields panel — controls

Anchor and geometry

  • Cycle Start: select another hull portal as anchor
  • Clockwise / Counterclockwise: reverse the portal ordering around the hull

Link strategy

  • Inbounding / Outbounding
  • SBUL counter (0–4): adjust planned SBUL usage (shown for outbounding)

Plan constraints / display

  • Respect Intel: ON/OFF: avoid crossing current intel links (where possible)
  • Show link dir: ON/OFF: toggle direction indicator on links
  • Bookmarks only / All Portals: restrict plan to bookmarked portals only (toggle)

Portal sequence editor (manual visit order)

  • Open Manage Fanfields order
  • Drag & drop rows to change the visit order
    • First row is the anchor and stays fixed
  • Buttons:
    • Path / Hide path: straight-line route preview on the map
    • Reset: discard manual order and rebuild from default ordering
    • Apply: use the edited order for the calculation

Outputs

Show as list

Use Show as list to open a table-style export that includes:

  • Visit order
  • Keys needed per portal
  • Keys available (from Keys / Live Inventory, if installed)
  • Outgoing link count per portal
  • Expandable per-portal link details (target, distance, order)

Includes a Navigate with Google Maps link for the portal route.

Statistics

Use Statistics to display:

  • FanPortals
  • CenterKeys
  • Total links / keys
  • Fields
  • Estimated AP (links/fields)

Export / integration

  • Export to Draw Tools: writes the planned links into Draw Tools as geodesic polylines.

  • Export to Arc: copies the plan to the Arc plugin.
  • Print: Generates an HTML page and opens it in your browser and opens the print dialog. (Desktop only)
