Here are some non-rock fishhook tail catalyses based off of the one here along with the a typically-oriented fishhook and a couple of replacement catalysts underneath for comparison. As the RLE shows, the BTS works for some but not all of the cases where the atypically-oriented fishhook works. (That is the BTS catalysis that I was referring to here.)

Code: Select all

x = 113, y = 73, rule = B3/S23

Whoops; I didn't notice that. (Moderators may feel free to delete my post.)

(Moderators may feel free to delete my post.)

Actually, I think the moderators shouldn't delete your post because context is important.

[MathAndCode]

Actually, I think the moderators shouldn't delete your post because context is important.

A moderator who deleted that post would presumably delete the posts afterward that were about it.
Also, why are you not accepting private messages or Discord messages from me? You're making me give the moderators more work.

I forgot to enable them again after I decided that I didn't feel like hiding from the forums anymore. Should be fixed now. I don't see what work the moderators would need to do, though.

Here's another interesting but useless catalyst from Bellman. I was hoping to find a smaller century eater. Instead I found a conversion to a pond, loaf, block constellation that doesn't leave much room for other catalysts. But it does something I have never seen before. It removes one end of a double fishhook eater and then restores it later.
