That's going to clear up a lot in Catagolue. Nice job!

A induction coil that stumped our automation:

Code: Select all

x = 55, y = 64, rule = B3/S23

An 8G snake to hook-with-tail component that will solve quite a few 19 bit still lifes.

Code: Select all

x = 26, y = 18, rule = B3/S23

Hopefully some of those include some soups with components that could be useful for other unsolved xs19s, but all the soups for xs19_8o0e9jzc9611 (picked at random from the middle of the list) produce the SL in a single flourish. Here it is in 10G

Your simplifications remain impressive as always!

Reduction to a preexisting string of components, small enough for Catagolue's box to recognize it as one transformation. Hopefully transfer.py can run off with it:

A way to get to this consternating structure:

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 35, rule = B3/S23
26bobo$26b2o$27bo$9bo$7b2o$2bo5b2o$obo9bo7bobo$b2o9bobo5b2o$12b2o7bo4$

o$7bo6$25b2o$25bobo$25bo!
The base still life, and relatives, shouldn't be a problem due to Chris's new snake-to-hook-with-tail component.

EDIT: Possible routes to this motif:

Code: Select all

x = 31, y = 15, rule = B3/S23
25bo$22b4o$bo2bo25bo$o18bobo5bo2bo$b9o9bo2bob2o2bo$3b3o15bo2b2o2bo2$4b

19bo$3bo19bo$2b2o18b2o!
EDIT 2: Just tedious to put together the first step:

Code: Select all

x = 152, y = 32, rule = B3/S23
138bo$136bobo$20bo116b2o$20bobo$20b2o5$10b2o58bo29bo39bo$4bob2obobo2b

EDIT 3: This one looks very possible, but I'm not keen on working out the boilerplate transformations at this time:

There are some still lifes characterized by tubs in a corner which, if they were eater heads, would be flush with an adjacent domino that prevents any of the usual eater-head-to-tub methods from working:

There would be an easy component to make those tubs, but I somehow got stuck on making this simple spark needed. Any ideas on forming it?

No. I dump some interesting glider collisons in a file using gencols and then track the "corner" of each reaction. Every time the corner increases by the necessary amount I just plonk the still life at the necessary location and test for the desired output after some small number of generations. I've been using something similar for years but thought it was about time to make it user friendly enough for wider consumption.

I wrote about my search script over in the scripts sub-forum. Here is the input for the recent search I made. Use direction = S, delay = 4, increase = 4 and defaults for everything else.

Code: Select all

x = 49, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory

Found with Chris's script. Seems pretty elementary as a transformation.

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 35, rule = B3/S23

How bizarre. The exact same 3G collision just turned up in this synth I found:

Synthesis for xs19_wo4it246zc93 using chris_c's script. It was quite difficult to make the 3G reactions all fit without intefering with each other. The pre-block inserter in the synthesis is pretty nice so it might come in useful for other still-lifes:

There's now less than 400 xs19s remaining (391 according to Catagolue as of now)

Here's a synthesis for the a/c pointing the other way. Hopefully this method of adding a pre-block will also be useful in other synths.
