Five clocks with different stators:
x = 18, y = 11, rule = B2k3aijn4a/S2k3kry4jkt5n

There's one at top right with no stator, but unwanted B2k gives it four cell stator.

Warning: any large haul in B3ai4cet5c6c7c/S2a3-kqr4eqt5i6cei78 is likely to flood the xp section of the Catagolue census.

Here is a Python function that does the first step of combined haul uploading:

The following pattern consists of two non-interacting oscillators, one p200 and one p300. (Both are simply capped versions of guns in the collection on Catagolue.) However, there are cells that oscillate at period 600 = lcm(200, 300), where the two glider streams intersect. So, would the pattern be ...

How can I find example soups in inflated symmetries, given the root, soup number, rule, and symmetry? Specifically, I'm looking for soup 79 in b3ai4cet5c6c7cs2a3-kqr4eqt5i6cei78/iD2_+1, and the haul root is k_PaUnKuiRbQKB. The soup apparently produces the object yl40_1_6 ...

More oscillators keep showing up in B3ai4cet5c6c7c/S2a3-kqr4eqt5i6cei78... here are some oscillators that showed up in various symmetries. Some might be already known; I didn't check that for all of them. Many of these are very sparky.

More oscillators. I'm currently sorting through some discoveries from apgsearch.

This rule is easily the richest rule in terms of oscillators I have seen. It is taking me longer to collect and sort these oscillators than for apgsearch to find them... (and part of the sorting is done by a script that I wrote)

The basic patterns in B3ai4cet5c6c7c/S2a3-kqr4eqt5i6cei78 are the block, preblock, and spacefiller:

Some explosive rules are searchable via stdin symmetries, but they search very slowly and can get stuck. I've been trying to apgsearch B3ai4cet5c6c7cS2a3-kqr4eqt5i6cei78 using a stdin symmetry, but it is very slow (~1 soup per second, also using a stdin symmetry disallows parallelization) and tends ...

How could I search a rule like B3ai4cet5c6c7c/S2a3-kqr4eqt5i6cei78? There are a lot of high-period oscillators, but the rule is explosive. (It does stabilize on a torus.) Normal apgsearch can't work because of the explosiveness. apgspaceinvaders works pretty quickly, but because almost every soup ...

Given the root, MD5, rule, symmetry, and soup ID of an example soup from a log saved by apgsearch, how do I find the actual soup?

Specifically, I'm trying to find the soup that is:

A rule where transient patches of B2c dots appear in the chaos, which is surrounded by somewhat larger patches of B2c dots: Large enough soups will expand forever.

Are there any still lives where exactly one cell survives by S2? The block has no cells surviving by S2, and ship, long ship, very long ship, etc have two cells surviving by S2.

Is it possible to make apgsearch not include sample soups when uploading to Catagolue?

I apgsearched JeecornerRGBLife using the following ruletable (added an extra state so that apgsearch essentially can generate multistate soups):

1. How to apgsearch custom ruletables? I've looked through LifeWiki pages, conwaylife.com forum pages, apgsearch documentation, and lifelib documentation without finding anything. (I know that when apgsearching custom rules, the rule's name must start with x.)
