Is there any way to reduce the cell count of this? I suspect that only one catalyst is required in the middle.
Code: Select all
x = 66, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

Edit: This puts the tub back—but in the wrong place.
Code: Select all

Another edit: This comes frustrating close to working with no catalysts in the middle.
Code: Select all
x = 63, y = 12, rule = B3/S23

Yet another edit:

Yes! The catalyst worked! Wait; that glider on the left is getting close… Oh, come on!
Fourth edit:
Code: Select all
x = 64, y = 14, rule = B3/S23

Again, I experienced elation then frustration.
I am tentatively considering myself back.
