To start, this rule is characterized by the traffic-light explosion, which seems to be endemic to rules with B4w.
In this rule, it dies after 44 generations:
Code: Select all
x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3-cn4w5a/S23-r4k
3o$obo$3o!There are four different linear replicators, all moving at 17c/40 orthogonal:

Oscillators
This rule is pretty boring, oscillator-wise. The only natural oscillators are the blinker (p2) and the grin (p4), both of which also work in wlife.
There are also replicator shuttles, due to the fact that the replicator can be stabilized by anything with a monomino front (I use tubs). Here's the smallest, a p80:
Code: Select all
x = 56, y = 22, rule = B3-cn4w5a/S23-r4k

Where there's a replicator shuttle, there's a gun. Here's a period 80 bookend gun:
