I found a G-to-X!

#C G-to-Pi based on Herschel receiver.
#C The output is in a rather awkward spot.


That's actually neat output location. Edgy G -> R which can be annexed with RF48H.

How do you make a .rule table with range 2 or greater?


The range-2 LtL neighborhoods' names and symmetries for rule tables are described here: https://github.com/GollyGang/ruletablerepository/wiki/RoadMap#larger-two-dimensional-neighborhoods
However, neither Golly nor LV support them.
