Smaller c/4o in Spines / Rule 3 [unsure if found]. done with rlifesrc EDIT: realized it looks like a face in phase 3 lol

16 whole [non-skewed] XWSSs. One rule! I challenge any of you to do more. No infinite families.

For these creatures, finding a mate is no simple matter.

When they meet, contact must be precise. A single tendril out of place, one movement too early, and the encounter ends not in union, but in chaos.

But this time... the alignment is perfect.

To me, a person with very low experience in macroships, I have limited ideas.

For one, we could use a similar method to the wick extender by codeholic for the front end of the ship. Then, we'd need to somehow incorporate the over unity reaction connected to this. Here's a sketch I made of a rough ...

Here's a starting point for a circuity rule which katrina rulegolfed a bit further.

My initial version [eat, 180 reflector, one-time splitter]. T's can 180 degree reflect off of eachother.

...you do realize that this rule currently has no glider reflectors with a period smaller than 21.

but to be serious if we got a p41 or a p2 thign that allows for the input and output streams to not annihalate, thatd be really cool.

new p18s I haven't seen in the collection [dik if theyr'e in it, i just couldnt find these particular veerisons] made using hasslers by luveelvoom in the discord [hasslers 5 and 7 respectively]:

A triplepost? Not surprising of course.
Very long 3c/13o in rule #1,maybe someone can find a shorter one:

A very near miss for a new crawler. I debated whether I wanted to post it to the crawlers thread but decided not to.

I am satisfied with this rule even if it does not contain any small common spaceships to my knowledge.


rlifesrc instantly rejected all c/2o's, so I don't think they exist. Here's some spaceships I found with rlifesrc.

x = 22, y = 14, rule = B2cn3ajnq4aeiz5ar6ci7c8 ...

Okay, my original post is getting long, so here's ANOTHER DISCOVERY OF MINE:

A MASSIVE reduction in 3c/7o, now over 3 times smaller in bounding box [old on right]
x = 16, y = 44, rule = B2c3-ijn4enrtwyz5ciknr6-an8/S1e2-en3ejnr4aikrwz5aiy6-cn8

Now THIS is my type of rule!
Rule 1 stuff with rlifesrc:
Reductions in w6 3c/7o to 115 cells, length 44. Minimal I could get.
x = 48, y = 85, rule = B2c3-ijn4enrtwyz5ciknr6-an8/S1e2-en3ejnr4aikrwz5aiy6-cn8

This puffer is already known, see post 2, but I'm glad to see new people care about this super old rule!

However, the thing is that, 1: it allows for a new glider direction, and 2: One of the 2 streams, as I show in my RLE, can be substituted for a crawler. So, with that, it becomes a 2 crawler + 1 SE stream > 2 crawler + 1 NE stream.


That is not true. You are losing 2 glider streams for 1 ...
