Re: B35/S23

Recently I saw a 5316M in Grounded Life, what is it? Also can you provide me a list of the longest-lived diehards and methetsulae? There was a soup listed as having a lifespan of 5250 on the old soup search site , clicking the 'RLE' link for it leads to nowhere but the URL itself has the soup's RLE...

Impressive! Is that using the Kadon sets?
This one was just done with sets I'd made myself - I had cut the heptominoes way back in high school, so I had to ensure that the other sets I made more recently were size compatible. I've got some polyhexes and octiamonds from Kadon though.
