The 9G synthesis of 14.344 should improve a few others that use it as a base.

Nice work. 14.358 can be done in 10G without synthesising a blinker-boat constellation, as the blinker can be replaced by a glider:

Catagolue (only just noticed it's not "catalogue") has been down, but it now working again, so I can find more syntheses.

I looked at that one recently but couldn't synthesis the piece of junk after a brief search. Probably do-able though. (EDIT: see below)

Also I reduced a few SLs of lower bit count so that now everything is at most 20G:

Code: Select all

+15.381     xs15_c8idioz023          9
+15.389     xs15_cahegoz023          8
+12.121     xs12_4alla4              7   (this one is the super-beehive)
There are now 127 SLs above 15G:

It is do-able, but it took me 6 gliders (bookend + domino). Definitely reducible. So 16.1753 in 14 gliders:

I found a 4G synth for the RHS (junk and blinker), but I couldn't find any way of making the spark without it interfering with the RHS:

Ah yes. I ended up doing a brute force search with 4G which was successful (see the recent edit above).

16.228 has over 1000 occurrences on Catagolue so I wouldn't be inclined to spend too long on any particular soup.

EDIT: I spent some time making reductions to certain strategically chosen still lifes. It brought about a dozen more below 16G. Also here is 16.1682 in 15G:

Nice work on 16.1682! I had spent a while on it without success.

EDIT:

16.1057 in 9 gliders:

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 51, rule = B3/S23
32bo$30b2o$31b2o3$18bobo$18b2o$19bo22$11bo$12b2o$11b2o2bobo$15b2o$16bo

This should give 16.872 in 13 or 14 gliders.

EDIT2:

Reduced 16.1084 in 18 gliders, using a similar method for what Sokwe used for 16.1979:

I tried to reduce 16.1693 via the honeycomb, but I was only able to get it down to 18:

Code: Select all

x = 25, y = 26, rule = B3/S23

I tried to find a 3G replacement for the tub+3G part on the right, but I was unsuccessful.

Edit: The last step of 16.1682 can be reduced by 1:

Code: Select all

This should give 16.872 in 13 or 14 gliders.

I found plenty of 4G syntheses for that junk so here is a 10G synthesis:

Were there any 3G syntheses for the junk? I didn't check. If so I guess there will be a 4G version that is compatible with it.

I tried to find a 3G replacement for the tub+3G part on the right, but I was unsuccessful.
By keeping your glider in the lower right and finding a 3G collision that worked for the rest, I reduced this by two. Sadly that still means 16G if the honeycomb costs 7G:

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 26, rule = B3/S23

Picking from the boring 16Gs farther down the list, so's I don't get in the way of people who actually know what they're doing --

Code: Select all

#C 16.724 / xs16_j5o64koz11 in 11 gliders

I looked at all the likely Catagolue soups for this one, I think. The only other one that might be cheaper was the one on the far left below, but I didn't find a 3G recipe for the spark at the lower right, and didn't feel like venturing into 4G territory to end up with a relatively messy synthesis. The reaction I used is at the far right, from this soup:

Only 105 16-bitters left -- y'all will be in two-digit territory soon! (This was probably my last token contribution for this round, since I'm supposed to be working on finishing up the Life Lexicon for the next week.)

Don't worry about that! The following still lifes are at 16G and above in my list and have at least 100 appearances on Catagolue. If anyone wants to give them a crack I know that I will be happy.

None found with gencols and your golly script anyway. I know that method misses at least a few collisions (e.g no bipond).

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?...

This is a mistake. 2 gliders (marked on the left side of the chart) interact before. To fix it will replace 2 gliders, forming PI (marked on the right side of the chart):

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.

Looks like AbhpzTa got in just before me with a better synthesis of 16.230

This was mine:

Code: Select all

x = 91, y = 65, rule = B3/S23

Can anyone else...
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...
chris_c wrote:...LifeAPI code. This took the longest time. I intended to post-process this with Golly but it was taking too long. Instead I wrote a LifeAPI program to analyse a series of reactions and output the RLE of the generation that is N generations before the final pattern appears. N was equal to 12 in my case. I post-processed this file in Golly looking for the desired spark. That was still quite slow.

I could post the actual code before too long if there is any interest. It would need a little tidying up first though.
Yes, I would be very grateful if you could post the code. It would help with many syntheses like the one you reduced to 8G in your last post.

EDIT:

16.1684 in 9 gliders:
