While it's unnamed, it's ranked #72 most common here . Those past #26 (and even some between #12 and #26) haven't been explored extensively. User C28 has basically adopted the one ranked #16.



Hmm, maybe I have some exploring to do then, would be cool to find something no one has before. Also I ...

x = 12, y = 8, rule = B3/S23

Wow; there's a switch engine sibling at generation 68. It's a shame that it doesn't stabilize.

you mean the pattern on the right? Also I found it in a soup where it DOES stablize in a BLSE, but I already posted years ago ...

Does this pattern have a name? I call it the digital 8 methuselah due to how it looks on generation 7, but certainly someone must have seen this one before
x = 4, y = 4, rule = B3/S23

It's of interest because, if it interacts with a certain spark in the right way, it can form a ...

thanks mate.

building off of that I found a further solution that actually produces infinite growth. Probably not the most effiicient method but eh

collision between glider and LWSS that tries to produce a switch engine. If the 6 cell spark at the top left at gen 81 could be destroyed a switch engine would show up on gen 85, but so far I haven't been able to do it by ramming it with ...
