This is an infobox template for conduits, e.g. Herschel conduits and converters. An example can be seen to the right. For general information about how to use pattern templates, see LifeWiki:Style guide/Pattern layout. To see a live example of this template in action, see F116 and BFx59H.
Special parameters
The following parameters are optional and should only be specified if their values are known.
- type: "elementary", "composite" or "converter".
- conduitfor: pattern moved (e.g. "Herschel").
- convertsto: output pattern, if different from input pattern (e.g. "B-heptomino").
- recovery: recovery time (in ticks)
- spartan: whether the conduit is Spartan (yes/no).
- Also use "yes" if the conduit can (easily) be made Spartan, e.g. by replacing a snake with an eater.
- dependent: whether the conduit is a dependent conduit (yes/no).
The following paramaters should only be specified if neither the input pattern nor the output pattern is a spaceship:
- m: output orientation (one of R, L, B, F, Rf, Lf, Bf, Ff)
- dx / dy: output offset
- step: time taken to move the pattern (in ticks)
