Some very preliminary searching can turn it e.g. at that first NW branch: x = 27, y = 42, rule = B3/S23 11b3o$11bo$2bo11bo$b2o8bo4bo$bobo8b3o$9bo6bobo$4b2o2bob2o6bo$5bo2bo2bo 7bo$4bobo13bo$3bo4bo2bo8bobo$3bo3b2o$3b5o3bo10b2o$4b3obo4bo9bo2bo$5bob ob2ob3o$4bo2bobob4o7b2o2bo$4bo17bo$4bo3bo$b2o3bobob2o...

I removed some of the glider redirection convoys, and so reduced the period of the diagonal c/4 puffers. As a fun exercise, I found a complicated cleanup convoy that works regardless of the period mod 16. Here is the resulting clean p3532+4N rake: #C c/4 diagonal p3532+4N rake #C #C To increase the...

I created a pre-pulsar hasslers page for pre-pulsar hasslers that aren't shuttles. Can someone please add the following oscillators to that page: x = 289, y = 307, rule = B3/S23 104bo$103bobo$102bobobo$102bobobo$101b2obob2o$99bo2bobobo2bo$99b2o3bo 3b2o$102bobobo$97b5o2bo2b5o$96bo5bobobo5bo$95bobo3b2...

This appears to be the basis of a fully configurable diagonal c/4 puffer. Excellent! Here is a refinement to more clearly demonstrate this mechanism: #N c/4 diagonal p4388+4N dirty rake #C To decrease the period by 4N, move #C box A diagonally southeast 2N cells. #C To increase the period by 16N, m...

when using synthesise-patt.py inside golly, how do I show all results and not only one? The version of synthesise-patt.py from here seems to work fine for me. I tested it on the R-pentomino and got 267 results. The pattern was zoomed in on the first synthesis, but I could simply zoom out to see the...

Here's a result I found, I don't know it this could be cheaper to rebuild than the pond and biblock?... Edit: Oh, you can turn the emitter around, that looks more promising: x = 46, y = 43, rule = LifeHistory 28.2A11.2A$28.2A2.3A.3A2.2A$32.A5.A3$26.A.A5.A.A5.A.A$26.2A.A3.2A.2A 3.A.2A$29.A3.2A.2A3.A...

It's a bit disappointing that it is so large and slow. Having to pull those loafs out from the fuse wastes space and especially time. Cleaning up the debris would make it even larger. I was hoping to beat the old adjustable puffer with its 4508 period, but this doesn't do it. At least it gives a ne...

I think this is the basis of a simple variable period diagonal c/4 puffer. This is essentially the basis for your original p4508+32N rake (version in link is period 6108). I'm wondering if there is a way to perform the reignition much faster than p4508. Much of the time in the original is taken by ...

2c/5 even searches completed for pop 60 in all five phases: max memory 97.8 GB, total time ~26.5h. Found only doubles of 30P5H2V0. Thanks! Interesting (?) that it took so much less time than the pop 57 odd-symmetric search. Was this the last spaceship min pop search you had in your queue? the weigh...

p28 wick based on the two pond and two block reaction The earliest mention I could find of this wick is here , where I attributed it to Jason Summers. However, I can't find any mention of the wick by Summers. It was first stabilized by Scorbie here using the p14 bi-block hassler . The 34P14 shuttle...

Please replace honey-farm-hasslers.rle with the following: #C The patterns in this collection hassle common predecessors of the #C honey farm constellation. There is an unusual proliferation of #C oscillators engineered this way due to the honey farm's high level #C of symmetry and the frequency wit...

I recently requested that the capped p37 gun be added to the honey farm hasslers wiki page, but I now see that it, like the old p6 honey farm "hassler", is actually a mutual stabilizer. It seemed like we came to the conclusion a while back that such things aren't "true" hasslers. In the p37 case I c...

If the aim is to show the same set of oscillators to LifeWiki readers without need to install Golly, then a dedicated page may work. The aim is to "complete" the LifeWiki traffic light hassler collection. If we have pages for non-pre-pulsar traffic light hasslers and for pre-pulsar shuttles , then ...

(Portal to the Discord server, where Dvgrn queried about monomerising/extending the Honey ring) It's totally possible to "Quasar" the Honey ring to have 16+16n honey farms... There are also these closely related ways in which two copies of the engine can interact: x = 197, y = 36, rule = B3/S23 11b...

There are pages for traffic light hasslers and pre-pulsar shuttles , but neither seems to include non-shuttle pre-pulsar hasslers. Should a pre-pulsar hasslers page be created? It could probably include the following oscillators: x = 337, y = 357, rule = B3/S23 104bo$103bobo$102bobobo$102bobobo$101b...

Nice! Can you give more details on how it was found?

Here's a partial c/7 that I found from searching ships with width 11 gutter symmetry: Logical width 11 seems wide as a starting place for c/7. I don't think anyone's ever tried to find a gutter-symmetric c/7 orthogonal ship at logical width 10 (full width 21). Any such search would find two loafers...

Sokwe, qfind appears to output spaceships in ascending order of length, does it conduct a breadth-first search and guarantee minimal length? It runs a breadth-first search, but also uses depth-first look ahead to prune. If it finds a ship during the depth-first look ahead it will print it, and this...

Thanks! I assume by the .exe extension that you are on Windows. Did you use the pre-compiled version available here , or did you compile it yourself? If you compiled it yourself, can you tell me what compiler you used and any compiler flags you included? Yeah, it's precompiled. Thanks again! When y...
