I'm trying to create my own supports for this, but I have a problem...

Entity Valkyrie 2 already posted a functional version, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I didn't think about buckaroos first...

[dvgrn]

That reduces the bounding box to 114-by-114 ...

I thought about increasing the frumiosity by adding Bandersnatches, but of course that didn't improve the bounding box. Obviously it could be improved a bit more -- Bandersnatches closer by 5 cells, guns farther away by 5 cells -- but it's still not competitive:

You can almost take out half of the Simkin guns and hook up the second output of the remaining guns, but the connection is mistimed by 4 mod 8.

What was the best way to add 4 mod 8 to the length of a glider path, again? Swapping a CC reflector and an adjacent CP reflector (where both are turning the glider the same direction, clockwise or counterclockwise) will do the trick, but unfortunately the Snarks are all CP reflectors and the Bandersnatch is stuck where it is doing the final glider insertion.

[MathAndCode]

That reduces the bounding box to 114-by-114

The blocks at the end of a Simkin glider gun can stabilize a queen bee shuttle with three different timings.

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 39, rule = B3/S23

However, that would mess up the color, and further optimizing four block factories hassling a century is pointless, anyway.



Edit: Actually, the glider synthesis looks like it can be reflected or replaced with another two-glider 90° synthesis of a block, but even if that made the color work out, the timing would probably be off.

Is there a possibility for quicker fallback at that period? I feel that quicker fallback would be more useful.

Yes, this was an attempt to rule out part of the search space.

That looks good. It could theoretically fall back a little farther, but I think that how long it stays back for makes up for that.

It would likely need a p14 dot sparker plus some spark suppression mechanism to complete, and I don't know of anything that works. The catalyst is from something Kazyan posted on the Discord a couple hours ago, a stably supported version of this p60 pre-pulsar hassler:

The catalyst (which seems familiar for some reason, even though I can't remember where I might have seen it before) seems mainly useful as a traffic light and/or honey farm catalyst, but I'm sure there are other uses as well. While it replaces killer toads in the hassler, in general the two aren't equivalent (for instance this one does not work in L122).

Obviously, the snake can be replaced with an eater for better clearance.
