Strange exploding rule:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 10, rule = B345678/S3a4568

I think it's an orthogonal Gems variant.

I call this rule "Seedless" because it's a non-exploding version of Seeds. Dominos may not advance for two consecutive generations.

Also it turns out the methuselahs in B2c3ajk46-ak/S1c237e8 make the ones in B37/S2-i34qy pale by comparison.
This soup lasts 933531 generations.

This rule is amazing, I just wish it were stable.

Here's another version with a different spaceship (3c/7):

Code: Select all

I believe it may also be unstable, as soups commonly go over 100000 gens...

EDIT: These weird "shoots" appear naturally. Failed replicator, I presume:
