Patterns last fairly long, it might be explosive.

This is named because T-tetromino evolves into a p9 oscillator:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = justatest
bo$2o$bo!

Pre-Loaf is a p6 oscillator:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = tosc
b2o$2o$o!

R-pentomino evolves into a sparky spaceship with speed c/30:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = tosc
b2o$2o$bo!

Hat, eater 1, and shillelagh are more common, I don't know why. However, shillelagh might occurr pretty common because of B-heptomino:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 4, rule = tosc
2o$b2o$2o$o!

What is, as far as I know, the first 2c/7 diagonal ship in any rule:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = tosc
2b3o$bo$o$o3bo$o2bo!

An 8-cell seed:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 4, rule = tosc
bo$2o$bo5b2o$7b2o!

Also has a 7-cell predecessor, but that would be harder to synthesize.

I really like this rule so far.

Edit: 2 hexominoes producing still lives:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 4, rule = tosc
2bo8b2o$2bo8bo$2bo8bo$3o7b2o!

I knew about the 2c/7 spaceship and was about to post it.

4 Blocks evolve from the Octomino:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = tosc
2b2o$obo$3o$bo!

Eater 1 cannot eat, sadly, but T can eat a glider:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 13, rule = tosc
obo$b2o$bo9$4bo$3b3o!

Instead of traffic lights evolving from a T-tetromino, it evolves from prepond:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = tosc
bo$b2o$o!

Fleet evolves into an octagon:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = tosc
3o$o2bo$o2bo$b3o!

Boat pushed by r-pentomino (only once):

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 11, rule = tosc
bo$obo$b2o5$3b2o$2bo2bo$3b2o$3bo!

2c/7 can create some puffers:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 20, rule = tosc
3bo$b3o$bo$2o$6bo$5bobo2b2o$4bob2ob4o$5b2o4b2o2$6bo3bobo$5b2o2b3o$5b3o
2bo3b2o$6b2obo2bo2$11bo2b2o$11bo2bo2bobo$16bo2bo$15bo3bo$18bo$15b3o!

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 19, rule = tosc
2bo$bobo$o2bo$b2o$4b2o$4b2obo$9bo$5bo$8bo$6bo3$12b3o$12bo2bo$12bobo3bo
$13bo4bo$18bo$17bo$14b3o!

This forms a boat tie:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 7, rule = tosc
5bo$4bobo$7bo$4bobo2$bo$3o!

[BlinkerSpawn]

This reaction (a reduced version of a natural one) came right out of nowhere:

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 11, rule = tosc
7bo$2b3obobo$4bobo$o6bo$o3b3o$obobo3$2b3o$2bobo$2b3o9b3o!

Can anybody run this soup, I think it goes on forever and my computer is slow:

Code: Select all

x = 100, y = 100, rule = tosc

Well, this is an interesting "very nearly exploding" rule. (The p9 reminds me of the p7 in the first Generations rule I explored in that topic.)

I actually suspect apparent infinite growth patterns might in fact be stabilizing at astronomically large ages, given the following mechanisms:
1) Collisions within outgoing diagonal spaceship streams create new "outposts" of junk;
2) Pre-existing activity spreads outwards into vacuum stronger than through debris.

So at some point some "outpost" along the line (possibly not even the first, but perhaps a secondary or tertiary one) might grow fairly large but end up stabilizing; at this point activity initiated by incoming spaceships from the center will remain on only one edge of this outpost, and slowly fill the pattern inwards rather than outwards. Activity could thus eventually "box itself in" and finally fizzle away once it's consumed all available space.

(But it's unclear how much secondary outposts, separated orthogonally from the center, might complicate things.)
