I used the same method used to create List of common evolutionary sequences on this rule, though only with around 1m soups rather than 50m. Here are the ones that appeared >=100 times:

3030 - bbbob$oobob$bbobo$! (Teardrop sequence)
2905 - bbo$bbb$oob$boo$bbo$!
1131 - obb$obo$bbo$ooo$! (B-heptaplet ...

Is there a way to weld these SL stabilizations together without eternally off cells? The result would be another p45 in Pedestrian Life, a rule which has a great dearth of them.

After seeing this topic, my first thought was to try one of the near-misses from the Pi-R-Squared spaceship page. I chose this one, since an alien completion is probably the best it's ever going to get:

Is this (glide-reflective) near-spaceship known?

Adding B0:
B01c3/S23 - Most things evolve into giant p2, or p4 oscillators, sometimes having this p6 oscillator inside them:
x = 2, y = 3, rule = B01c3/S23
2o2$2o!

B01e3/S23 - Already explored
B02a3/S23 - Already explored
Only new pattern I found is this p24:

Anyway, here is a rebus I made in mspaint:

Thousand?

Yes. Explanation: The "You" is in old english font, which means it should be "Thou". Combine that with the sand and you get thousand.
I'll come up with a new one later

I don't completely understand. I understand what reversible computing means, but how is this a model?

I tried to make Hillstretcher able to have gliders (it failed, S3q makes it explode but if you exclude S3q you can't have hillstretchers) and I managed to end up at LeapLife with S4i added. I ran a soup, and

I can't even load in a loafer.
Why not, exactly? Please try being more specific in bug reports -- it seems silly to have to go through several cycles of posts to painfully extract the relevant information from people.

I know of a script that turns patterns to apgcodes, but is there a script that turns apgcodes to patterns?

This script by Ilmari Karonen seems to fit the bill. I haven't tested it, but the comments show a good level of awareness of the different apgcode variants.

I am currently apgsearching Hillstretcher, and it keeps killing itself because the soups last too long (I think)

Ok.

Does it have numbers? Do the numbers count as letters?

Configure apgsearch 5.0? Have you read the instructions?

I did not. I forgot that it was on gitlab and had a readme.md because I had issues with make and g++ (which are now fixed).

How do I configure it so it uses a rule other than the standard Life?

Concrete

If anyone wants to find more, use this (extremely slow) script (based on my previous failed methuselah script): import golly as g

h = int(g.getstring("Torus height:"))
count = int(g.getstring("Soup count:"))

your homework to reduce this p27, I'll be busy for a while x = 23, y = 23, rule = B2ikn3ai/S0234i
