While it's unnamed, it's ranked #72 most common here. Those past #26 (and even some between #12 and #26) haven't been explored extensively. User C28 has basically adopted the one ranked #16.

Wow; there's a switch engine sibling at generation 68. It's a shame that it doesn't stabilize.

No, but I noticed that generation 34 consists of two copies of the Herschel's grandchild that did not form from actual Herschels, which is interesting.

you mean the pattern on the right? Also I found it in a soup where it DOES stablize in a BLSE, but I already posted years ago, but eh, i suppose reposting a decade later isn't too taboo. Not like I make a habit of this. Obviously this can be reduced significantly but I prefer to show the original form.

While it's unnamed, it's ranked #72 most common here. Those past #26 (and even some between #12 and #26) haven't been explored extensively. User C28 has basically adopted the one ranked #16.

Hmm, maybe I have some exploring to do then, would be cool to find something no one has before. Also I unofficially petition that that pattern be named digital 8.

EDIT 2: An unusual natural still life ...

This is a fairly common reaction; something hits a 3/4 traffic light, turning one of the blinkers into a Pi heptomino, which hits the other two blinkers.

I'm not sure if I was the first one to find it, but I recall stumbling across this by accident some time in the early '80s when I was doing several collisions of gliders into traffic lights, tiling several interactions on the same screen at the same time. One of the interactions got too large and destroyed the leftmost blinker of one of the traffic lights in an adjacent pattern, so its interaction was with 3/4 traffic light rather than a full traffic light as originally intended.

How did the pi-sequence get in? The only glider-blinker collision that creates a pi-sequence doesn't work with the twin hat reaction because the glider would have hit another blinker first, the pi-sequence would have the wrong relative position, and even if it didn't, the house predecessor would hit another blinker too soon.

I can't recall the exact details; it's been around 30-40 years, after all. I just remember that I was systematically exploring hitting something into a traffic light in all possible positions, and to save time, I did a bunch of them at once on the same screen; one of them catalyzed a blinker into a pi, while coincidentally, the adjacent one removed its other blinker.

That looks like it should yield a converter, but I'm having difficulty finding a way to make it from gliders. Do you have any other examples of that converter occurring naturally?

I don’t know, I can’t find them naturally in other ways yet, since it’s in pedestrian life, and the last generation of this requires b8 at 10,2

Maybe not entirely useless, but this is a domino spark to glider that requires two at once and has bad clearance.

Putting the spark in the right place puts the honey farm exactly where it began after 30 generations. The problem is that the spark can't be placed. (You'll have to remove the pre-loaf manually to see it come back in generation 30.)

Ponds can be pushed the same way beehives can. This pattern does it twice, but it gets destroyed soon after. Interestingly, the second push pushes it two cells, not one.
