I was trying to see whether I could remove a feather with two gliders and found this slow component instead.

You can delete the feather with 3 gliders (I'm not sure if it can be done with 2). The other two components can be done more efficiently without the feather using standard snake-to-long-hook-with-tail converter and extend-snake-by-1 converters respectively, unless you already have a useless feather you need to get rid of.

EDIT: Tinkering with this a bit more, I came up with a 4-glider feather-to-block converter, and one incomplete (and probably difficult to complete) more exotic converter:

That appears to be two pieces of older Cordership technology, placed next to each other for no obvious reason. In the lead is a 3-engine block puffer, but two-engine block puffers are known. Right behind that is a 3-engine Cordership, placed almost as far forward as possible (it could be advanced one more tick).

The Cordership doesn't interact with the block puffer in any way, so at least without more context, it's not clear what this combination might be used for. It could certainly clean up certain types of periodic debris to the northeast, but it seems like something smaller could probably accomplish the same task. (?)

Better beehive puffer. (Removed the 3-engine Cordership .)

It's generally a good idea not to double-post your discoveries, as you did in this case. I'll probably go ahead and delete the copy once you have this particular forum convention figured out -- I guess it isn't one of the official rules.

A slightly better thread for this kind of thing might be the "thread for unsure discoveries". You're still at the stage where you're likely to rediscover things that are already known. For example, you could replace the 3-engine block puffer above with a 2-engine block puffer, making the whole thing smaller -- see the link in my last post.

Seems like there must be p96 beehive-laying Corderpuffers with only four or three switch engines, but I'm not turning any up at the moment. Are there any up-to-date collections of Cordertech that I'm forgetting about?

EDIT: a good place to put minimal examples of p96 c/12 diagonal puffers might be the Cordership Discussion Thread -- since as far as I can see there isn't very much along those lines in Sokwe's jslife-moving.

Sorry,I kown about the thread for unsure discoveries before ,but I can't find it when after I made the account, so I posted it here.

Yup, I remember it showed up on the Finding a job for the unemployed mango thread at least once, and the fact seemed to be fairly widely known. Thanks for getting the details into the Mango article!

I think it is a reverse tractor beam. Works only for spaceships which are all at the the same phase, however, and you can't exactly make a sawtooth with that, though you can make something like block pusher.
