20 G -> 120 bit SL. 6 bits per glider! (If you remove 4 that are just there to delete ship-tie debris you can get 16G -> 168 bits of SL, over 10 bits per, but it's not a synthesis in that case)

Adding on useless syntheses: Caterer in 7G... with an extra glider output and with gliders that can't come from infinity. An edge-shooting TL predecessor can make this a clean 8G synth but that's no better than the current record.

[Paul Callahan's 2G->G converter

Yes. Well, it's known but not always useless: the beehive can be used to stop a 90-degree glider, for example.

See the G2/G5/G6-to-G converters in the current elementary conduits collection -- you can do the same trick with one less eater.

This one _is_ useless... It's just that it's amusing to watch.

Right. I should have checked that.

A period 8 lightspeed spaceship that only works in a tube that's 8 blocks wide:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 32, rule = B3/S23:T8,0

A 9-cell ancestor of the spaceship:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 2, rule = B3/S23:T8,0
4bo$8o!

Basically useless but really interesting, in my opinion.

EDIT: Found another that's some sort of agar-like shape in every phase:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 2, rule = B3/S23:T8,0
obobobo$8o!

Period 2, travels at the speed of light. Much smaller bounding box. It can be extended to any even-numbered tube width and retain its properties.

EDIT2: More 8-tube findings:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 5, rule = B3/S23:T8,0

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 8, rule = B3/S23:T8,0
3b2o$2bo2bo$3b2o$2o4b2o4$8o!

Period 8, makes and destroys a beehive. Has a simple ancestor:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 4, rule = B3/S23:T8,0
3b2o$3b2o2$8o!

This leaves a line hexomino oscillator that only works in an 8-tube in its wake as well.

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 4, rule = B3/S23:T8,0
b2o2b2o$b2o2b2o2$8o!

Blocks can prevent tube sawtooth patterns from going into a certain part of the tube. It requires proper spacing and may not always work, depending on the width. Using that, we can end up with a true still life that doesn't work outside a tube:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 7, rule = B3/S23:T8,0
b2o2b2o$b2o2b2o2$8o2$b2o2b2o$b2o2b2o!

That's all I have for now.

Here is a 8-cell predecessor of your lightspeed "spaceship" (not technically a spaceship):

[UnearthedSecret]

Thank you!

I haven't found any puffers in the 8-tube but they exist for sure in any tube with a width 9 or greater. I'm just using normal terminology for the things because I have no better way to refer to them.

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 19, rule = B3/S23:T9,0

An easy-to-make puffer in a 9-wide tube. Leaves a block in its wake every 8 generations and moves at light speed. Its ancestor is just an extension of the smaller version you gave me for that spaceship-like pattern. Extending the same pattern further into wider tubes gives similar results, but with different layouts and the like. Extending the pattern with a domino spark into a 9-wide tube makes a blinker puffer that leaves a blinker every 4 generations.

Finally, another fun spaceship-like pattern:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 2, rule = B3/S23:T9,0

Beehive puffer I found around spring 2014, based on a pulsar-like replicator:

Speaking of tube spaceships, there's this 3c/10 with a very strong backward spark:

I haven't found any puffers in the 8-tube but they exist for sure in any tube with a width 9 or greater.

Here is a puffer in width-8 tube:

[UnearthedSecret]

After a bit of searching, I found another puffer in the 8-wide tube:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 28, rule = B3/S23:T8,0

8o$8o$8o!

Is 5-wide the lower limit or could one exist in a 4-wide tube?

I may want to make a thread for these.

[Scorbie]

Here's a width 4 one... But I think there may be an existing thread... At least there are legacy investigation some long time ago, as far as I know.

Code: Select all

Maybe this reaction is known, and it looks pretty useless anyways:

[Billabob]

I was looking at how two P30 Glider streams interact; most reactions are just "place an object, destroy the object." But that is not the case with the two-glider mess! After around 2.8M generations, one of the Glider streams has punched through the cloud, and the other... I'm sure this reaction is known, but it surprised me.

Incredibly unusual catalysis of a B precursor by two uncommon glider eaters:

Unfortunately, it is almost certainly useless in practice.

What do you mean? That yields a legitimate p356 gun:

I thought it couldn't be used as a conduit, because the beehive gets shifted up one cell.

I have some other partial conduits, but they probably shouldn't be shown here.

That is a clever way of using that conduit, though.

Unrelated: Can someone explain to me the naming conventions of Herschel conduits/converters?? I read something on another thread about something like "Fx171 conduits with a recover of 78 ticks" but I don't know what that means, or why it's important.

Can someone explain to me the naming conventions of Herschel conduits/converters?? I read something on another thread about something like "Fx171 conduits with a recover of 78 ticks" but I don't know what that means, or why it's important.

The letters at the beginning refer to the orientation of the final H with respect to the initial one. In this case, Fx means forward, but with a flip. The 171 part means that the final H is produced 171 ticks after the start. The recovery time is the amount of time before another signal can pass through it.
A table of what the initial letters in the description mean:

I'd call that a Cis-long barge with two tails instead.
It seems this exact pattern has been reported before. As a matter of fact, the pattern isn't so rare in diagonally symmetric soups:

[gmc_nxtman]

I think this one is the most interesting (found from catagolue [why is it spelled like that?]) because it produces the barges first, then "sticks" the tails onto them:

Apparently, this weird p3 showed up in apgsearch:

I was unable to find the soup it came from, because I found it in my root objects directory(which, on mac, is under Library > Application support > Golly > apgsearch > objects)

Is this p4 known? I was unable to find it in the wiki:

Code: Select all

EDIT2: I actually found it in DRH_oscillators.rle. Maybe it should be added to the wiki? Does it have nay practical use?

It's called catagolue because it's a catalogue of Game of Life objects. Game of Life = GoL. cataGoLue.

You know.. sometimes you have to wait for the tide to turn to get a pun, especially those ocean ones.

Is there some way of running a script to tell me the period for this? Does it even have a period?

Don't get me started on puns. Once I get started, I'm shore you'll never sea the end. You'll be feeling pretty salty after all that calling for kelp. But any suns of beaches who may try to kelp you will inevitably make things into a shell on earth....
