Both of those rules are explosive and cannot be apgsearched.

Another prompt of mine (“Generate an image containing some patterns and descriptions from well-known cellular automata similar to Conway’s Game of Life (e.g. HighLife, Seeds, etc.).”) generated this image:

I just finished writing a simplified, von Neumann version of my wiring rule in 32 states:

To make an alternating ruletable, you build separate ruletables for each rule you want to alternate (using state 1 for the first and state 2 for the second) and combine them so that all birth/survival conditions in rule 1 generate state-2 cells, and all birth/survival conditions in rule 2 generate ...

Welcome to the forums!

It would help to upload your rule to the LifeWiki repository, so that others can see patterns made in it without you having to include the ruletable in every single post you make.

The forum rules also state that you should

I’m not entirely sure, but I think that this user might also be one, with an equally suspicious signature:

For the piship design, I was thinking about something like this:

I’m going to start work on a small script to systematically search for Havenrules with UWSS-shaped spaceships. I’ll post any results I find here.

This is the volatility 1 P6 wick I found. Did I discover it first? Also, how can the end part of this be made stable?
