If someone can by, some miracle, corderize this, then we'd have a new speed in the Glider.DB:
Code:
Select all
x = 7, y = 11, rule = B3468/S0357
3bo$2b3o$bo3bo$7o$b5o2$3bo4$3bo!
I wasn't able to get it all the way, but did find some useful reactions. This shifts a single line of dots 6 cells to the left:
Code: Select all
x = 19, y = 26, rule = B3468/S0357
9bo$8b3o$8bobo$8b3o3$6bo5bo$9bo$8bobo$7b2ob2o4$9bo2$14b3o$3bo10b3o$2b
3o8bobobo$2bobo4bo$2b3o10bo2$12bo5bo$o5bobo$3bo4bo4b2ob2o$2bobo10bo$b
2ob2o!
Also, placing two of the puffers close enough creates a different 5c/11 puffer, this time p22:
Code: Select all
x = 17, y = 25, rule = B3468/S0357
2b3o7b3o$2b3o7b3o$bobobo5bobobo2$3bo9bo2$o5b2ob2o5bo$7bobo$b2ob2o5b2ob

2bo$4b2o5b2o!
This new puffer can be perturbed to have two streams of single dots instead, placed further apart than the original:
Code: Select all
x = 33, y = 33, rule = B3468/S0357
10b3o7b3o$10b3o7b3o$9bobobo5bobobo2$11bo9bo2$8bo5b2ob2o5bo$15bobo$9b2o

Tangentially, I managed to "corderize" the puffer into a breeder:
Code: Select all
x = 30, y = 42, rule = B3468/S0357
16b3o7b3o$15bobobo5bobobo$15b5o5b5o$15bo3bo5bo3bo$16b3o7b3o3$21bobo$

o$2bobo10bo$b2ob2o!
It's probably not helpful, though.
EDIT: The shift reaction was known from
R2INT's post here.
