Here is a block catalysis where the block is supported by a tub.

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 10, rule = B3/S23

How unusual is this tub catalysis? I tried the line of four rock, and it somehow moves and does the non-rock version later. (The active region is two centuries with C2 symmetry in a 7×16 total bounding box, unmodified, but starting with the centuries wouldn't actually work because it would interact with the tub a few generations earlier.)
