Scattering diagram for the cluster algebra $ \mathbb C [N]$

Five years ago, Gross-Hacking-Keel-Konstsevich made a major advance in the theory of cluster algebras, by constructing bases of cluster algebras in large generality. A key tool in their construction is the theory of scattering diagrams.

Some examples of scattering diagrams are described in the literature, especially for rank 2 cluster algebras. However, for me they remain somewhat mysterious.

I am interested in cluster algebras arising from semisimple groups, especially the algebra $ \mathbb C[N] $ of functions on the maximal unipotent subgroup of a semisimple group? (For example, for $ SL_n$, this is the group of uni-upper triangular matrices.)

Question Has anyone has described/computed the scattering diagram associated to the cluster algebra $ \mathbb C[N] $?

If this example is too complicated, I would also be happy with understanding the scattering diagrams associated to the subalgebras $ \mathbb C[N(w)] $ or the coordinate rings of partial flag varieties.
