Have anyone found some way to combine pis into still life puffers? I think this may make the construction of the spaceship easier(you can use still lifes to add more layers of functional pis)

I just made a collection of p11 sparkers and other useful p11s! Some aren't technically sparkers, but I thought they were worth including since they can be useful in p11 oscillator construction.
Hopefully someone finds this useful!

Very awesome indeed!
Btw, do you plan to do some research about ...

It's worth noting that the set of patterns that die out on generation 1 in B3/S23 is also the set of patterns that are still lifes in the OCA rule B3/S0145678:

Can anyone do a comparison between these spaceships and waterbear(possibly also other maco-spaceships too)?

yyh_baboon

I think it’s worthy for a thread

This rule seems like the first LtL with stable catalysts.
LtL rules are often underlooked (except some exceptions like Bosco) , so maybe it’s time to research in some LtL rule
