Replicator thread

[Aleph]

I remember there being a thread for replicators in general, but I can't find it, so I've created it. My goal with this thread is to have a general collection point for replicators, instead of them being scattered across MDIOCA. Replicators have shown themselves to be the starting points of many interesting patterns, so I think a thread is justified.

Other threads about replicators. None of these seem to be a "replicators in general" thread.

EDIT 5: If a replicator falls into a more interesting category, I would recommend posting it in that thread instead of this one.
Edit 6: Added another thread.

My bad: I wasn't clear before. I meant that the original failed replicator (7c/41) didn't work at all if I flipped any of B0, B2c, B2i, B4c, and B6i. Since unusual replication habits usually require a copy of the replicator to be formed in the center after the next cycle after this point in time, this would require breaking the gutter.

The original failed replicator only "works" under mutations of B6n, S3c, and S6e, and none of them seem to lead to anything more interesting.

Given that the original failed replicator "works" under mutation of any of B3cy4nqr5ajkqr6aek7c/S4ejnyz5cjkqr6ei, I suspect that there is significant space for rulegolfing this one.

Thank you for pointing that out. Unfortunately, it has not been posted in since January 2023, and I doubt that I should post in it since it's been over a year (see rule 3b and calcyman's rant about me: necroposting is necroposting).

[confocaloid]

I just wanted to point out existence of other threads that might be usefully linked from the first post (which could also benefit from having the names of threads written explicitly, instead of just listing bare URLs).
A reader should not be forced to click the link to get an idea of where it leads to.

Also I'm familiar with some history, and in general following one forum rule does not make a good excuse to break another forum rule.
Posting in a known existing thread on the same topic is better than creating a duplicate thread.

This may or may not count as "tame", but might be interesting enough to be posted.

• A failed replicator (duoplet settling into a p8 constellation with minimum population = 176 alive cells)
• Two orthogonal c/1 spaceships (p1 and p2); it's worth noting however that the cellular automaton uses a range-3 neighbourhood and c/1 is no longer the maximum speed of propagation of effects, hence these spaceships aren't photons
• The three objects given in the quoted post, the Z-pentomino still-life, the LWSS, the MWSS, the HWSS
• edit: as an illustration, added a fuse that can burn to propagate consequences across the universe faster than c/1 orthogonal
