Now there is only one still-life costing 20G or more; 16.712.
Looking at the current synthesis, it takes 6 gliders to make a smallish piece of junk by colliding a pi, a beehive, and a beacon. Is there a way to make it in 4 gliders?...
I didn't find anything.... I searched for pairs of gliders colliding at 90 degrees where the first gliders in each pair are between 0 and 19 ticks out of step and the rearward gliders are in a 14x14 rectangle somewhere behind the first.

Spend a while trying to make this predecessor for 16.313 work without success:

Got this one done in 8G. There were plenty of reactions that give that Pi + Block but it still took quite some time to find one compatible with the traffic light
