A hook flipping component in 6G. It solves at least one 19 bitter so maybe it is useful elsewhere:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 17, rule = B3/S23

Unecessarily complex solution for xs19_64p7gci6zx121:

It would be nice if someone could publish a list of the remaining xs19s sorted by appearances on catagolue so we have some sort of "hitlist" for 19-bitters to attempt next.

I made a snake-to-eater component that solves 5 of the unsolved 19-bitters:

Does anyone know what's going on here? Is there prior art for snake-to-eater that just doesn't work in this specific configuration? I did need to find my own domino inserter to work here so it's quite possible.

I doubt there's anything special going on--that's just a non-obvious useful transformation and you happened to be the first to get it. Or perhaps there really is a steric hindrance problem in existing work.

Here's a way to make certain corner beehive configurations:

EDIT2: A nice component that follows on from Kazyan's loaf/hive adder:

Code: Select all

x = 37, y = 34, rule = B3/S23

There are still a number of still lifes with an at-beehive, simply because other parts of the still life get in the way of the existing at-beehive adders. This can get to an at-loaf, based on Extrementhusiast's adder, but I'm having trouble downgrading it back into a beehive.

Involving any gliders coming from the north-west was definitely a last resort but the end result is pretty good I think:

The takes care of three at-beehive still lifes! ...there are still more, because the motif is annoying and everything gets in the way of construction. Oh well.

Here's a still life that required a bunch of scaffolding, but is probably reducible:

This one turned out nicely:

Code: Select all

x = 23, y = 23, rule = B3/S23

Idea for these two xs19s, though I'm a bit at a loss as to how to insert the top red spark without interfering with the left red spark. It doesn't look too hard; I just can't figure out a way with correct clearance.

Code: Select all

x = 149, y = 31, rule = LifeHistory

Got it:

Code: Select all

x = 27, y = 29, rule = B3/S23

That higher-clearance insertion has now helped solve xs19_03p68oz39c32 and about eight relatives.

I've been trying to make a component sequence to do this other transformation, as well. So far, no luck, but it's getting closer:

Code: Select all

x = 128, y = 13, rule = B3/S23

I can't tell if this is helpful or not:
