The Proto Flux Tool is one of the most useful tools in Resonite, allowing you to create, connect, and pack ProtoFlux nodes.
Where To Get The Tool
The Proto Flux Tool can be found in the Resonite Essentials public folder that every new user starts with in their inventory.

- Toggle Overview mode: Changes the visual complexity of the nodes.
- Unequip: Unequip the tool.
Selecting a Group of Nodes
The user can select a group of nodes by pointing their laser at the node and holding secondary[1], this will cause their packing indicator circle to fill before turning the group of nodes blue. While selected the user can move, destroy, duplicate and pack the group, in this state the user will get additional context menu options:

- Pack In Place: Packs the nodes to their current parent
Packing ProtoFlux Nodes
ProtoFlux nodes can be packed using the Proto Flux Tool. You will need to select the group of nodes that you want to pack and than grab the slot you want to pack from the scene inspector, if you open your context menu while holding the slot reference you will get two additional options in your context menu.
- Pack Into: Pack Into will pack the currently selected nodes into the slot reference you are currently holding.
- Unpack: Unpack will unpack the nodes from the slot reference you are currently holding, this will allow you to continue editing the Flux that has been previously packed.
