This beehive rock is functioning as a tub rock; a tub or anything else with a tub-like point also works.

By the way, has the reaction on the left been investigated with catalyst-searching programs? It reconstructs the bait block quickly:

This mod of Dieter's partial reflector makes an extra glider.

The synthesis of xs19_3pm0mmzw343 (a flat Eater 2 variant) in Catagolue does is staged, so I made one that has it popping up naturally:

Edit 2: I just realised that one of the blocks (2g) and one cleanup glider for that block (1g) is not needed. The block was part of the original reaction but when the first cleanup glider went in the block became unnecessary. Here's the improved 21g synth:

Maybe someone can help me improve the cleanup or use synthesize_patt.py or something like that to create the constellations? I can't use Python.
