8 hours, portal's tutorial actions rewrite.
I managed to write a different way of deconstructing the portal every time it occurs in the game. These have all been unified into leveraging the ordered drain that was written for save phase siphoning. The portal also now always operates on honest numbers of pick ups (no more releasing some random number as it breaks down, it releases the full 72 that comprise the two wall layers).
Portal walls have a single material that is altered but never replaced instead of there being a corrupted material which was complicating the process of dissolving the gate.
Simplified the number of variables being used to track the portal's completion percentage.
Repaced the starting tutorial phases to feature the dissolving portal.
Section tracking seems good so far.
Established timers and comparison points for timing the length of section splits. Getting them into the data saving process tomorrow.
