Here is a PM I sent to Haycat2009 last night; they requested permission to post it here. I have not changed anything, not even the deleted sentence.

You are making the wrong choice.

77-cell endemic pattern in B/S012345678:

Although it's a bit of a gimmick, you can squeeze the spaceships:
x = 162, y = 362, rule = R11,C0,S5-7,B5-7 ...

Very nice! For some reason I find the almost-adjustable ships more interesting than actually-adjustable spaceships. Maybe it's because if there are infinitely many they become boring, but if there are only finitely many then it leaves you hoping for one more. Since the p304 ship doesn't work with ...

There's also this pattern featuring some weird sequence on the left and standard chaotic puffer-driven growth on the right:
x = 8, y = 31, rule = B3-k4n7c/S2-i3-a4a6e

As the person who made the original post, I would just like to say that I agree with the decision to move it. I am not bothered by the loss of editing powers nor by the green text. And while some context is lost here, I think that continuing discussion about it in the Factorio thread would lead to ...

First, the factual issue at hand. Please read all of this first, and do not use this post to confirm that you are right, no matter how right you are:

There was not a proper proof that movement faster than one diagonal cell per generation was impossible. Indeed, it briefly is (look at the block ...

Wouldn't it be easier (and harder to cheat) if they both sent copies of their board to a third party and then only posted their moves and results in a single thread?

It's barely an agar, but it can go as low as you want:
x = 17, y = 17, rule = B1357/S1357:T18,18

I suspect any stable agar in Replicator can be made by XORing copies of that dashed line:
x = 85, y = 18, rule = B1357/S1357 ...

While trying to find a crystallographic defect rule with the S5i-tube agar, I found the following rule, which makes giant spikes of said agar and slowly consumes them:
x = 40, y = 40, rule = B2c3-i4inqrz5eiy6ek8/S2ae3-ijn4aqrz5cijnq6-ei7

In addition to B/S012345678, I know that the following rules are reversible: B1357/S1357, B1357/S2468, B1e2ak3einqy4jnry5einqy6ak7e/S1e2ak3einqy4jnry5einqy6ak7e (B13/S13V), B1e2ak3einqy4jnry5einqy6ak7e/S01c2-ak3-einqy4-jnry5-einqy6-ak7c8 (B13/S024V), B1c2ak3-einqy4jnry5-einqy6ak7c/S1c2ak3 ...

May I ask what you intended it to be? And isn't a thread created explicitly to be locked quickly the same sort of problem as another random posts thread?
