Here is a list of traffic light and honey farm pushes from the same program I found the complete ones about a month ago, but these don't have a completion yet. They are sorted first by object type, then larger offset, then smaller offset, then number of generations.

If it's a honey farm, it ...

1) It does not grow infinitely, because the loaf fuse will eventually run out and then the resulting crash destroys both guns

- If you think this is too much, a reduction to 256 cells also seems valid (although it does disqualify two large objects mentioned in the article).

This eliminates the Summers/Nivasch logarithmic growth, which has a much higher initial population. What is the highest L/MCPS you can think of ...

Conjecture: there are not oscillator with period >2 in B8/S<any> rules(accepting infinity patterns such as agar)

Edit:
Overturn! this is a p6 oscillator:

Could the conjecture still hold if we add the restriction that the period is odd?
