Also, using this over-unity reaction does have some limitations. Firstly, it can only be used on periods that are 92+8n, and this is only in theory, and with current technology, this is 108+24n, which is not really 'adjustable'.

I successfully adjusted the p204 gun into a p348 gun, which I mistakenly calculated to be the minimum (long story):

Its bounding box also ended up quite a bit larger because the amount of T's that have to be shuttled varies depending on the period.

EDIT: I believe the minimum period achievable based on the current redirection of the backwards T is 204, actually. I'll see what the next highest period I can construct is, probably p228.

EDIT2: Here is a p228 T gun:

I believe the achievable periods are p204+24n.

I believe the achievable periods are p204+24n.

That seems true.

I was going to add this in another edit to my previous post, but I have constructed a p196 gun as well, which is not of the form p204+24n. Instead of p3/p6, I used the p7 sparker:

This implies that it should be possible to construct any gun of period 196+8n, provided that the period is divisible by at least one of 3, 5, 7, since there are working reflectors at periods 6, 7, and 10.

At periods 188 and lower, the T's appear to be nearly impossible to redirect without colliding with something.

This can also be used to produce certain other periods as well, as long as the oscillator can get out of the way in time. If you inflate a margolus oscillator enough times it can be turned into a gun, but its original period will be multiplied by a high power of two. I have attached an example of a p1984 (inflated from p62) gun with a p128 filter, but filtering out all of the T's would be possible albeit require very large oscillators:

Any guns with a minpop or period above 1000, a bounding box larger than 1024x1024, are not really notable, because there are probably thousands of these. Also, 204+24n was achievable with technology at the time, but it is now 204+24n, 192+56n, and these x2. If you can implement an example using p8, p10, or p11, then we can add them to this list.
I have made a p32 gun using the mechanism of your p64 gun.

Synthesis can probably be done just by searching D2_+1 gliders enough.

[ThePlayzr]

I have tried to use a p8 sparker for a gun, and I have proven that it is actually impossible. This is because the over unity reaction must work at 188+8n, which cannot be a multiple of 8.
Also, Catagolue recognized this as yl_16 in the collections...

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = B3/S23-a5

We technically have 6 natural spaceships, because the T tagalong has appeared in C1, D4x4, and D4x1, which is 3 times, and none of them became a higher symmetry in their evolution, which makes them all equivalent to C1 occurrences.
I would like to name the tagalong, either the cornerer, because in one phase the front end of the tagalong triggers b4c, or the D, because in the phase below it looks like a D.

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 7, rule = B3/S23-a5

Edit: I made a collection of spaceships that are 20 or less cells, so might be the next one to appear naturally or semi-naturally. Out of these, only the c/4 and the 3rd c/2 have appeared naturally so far, and all of them are true tagalongs. The smallest spaceships yet to appear naturally are the 1st and 2nd c/2 spaceships.

PK22, or anyone else who is interested, can you get D4_x1 to 1 billion objects? It is the last 4-fold symmetry left, just needing 67 million more, and doing this would be very helpful.

Can someone do a search for a c/4 puffer? If we find one, it would make a cool addition to the collections.

I agree with what mmmmmmmmm said, can someone do a search for a c/4 puffer? c/4 spaceships are easy for ikpx2, so this might be a good next step for advancing known tech in travelling ts.

Please help by adding syntheses for common objects or those that might be useful - I have done some searching for Mateon1_Glider8_4_5_Test, so there are a lot of objects that we might be able to synthesise now.

Awesome! finding a toaster is very surprising. unfortunately, it cannot reflect Ts. But, the other p5 can, (finally) giving us T-Loops of 30+5n! Also, I think the 2nd p4 might be sparky enough to make a p44 and p52 LCM.

Please help by adding syntheses for common objects or those that might be useful - I have done some searching for Mateon1_Glider8_4_5_Test, so there are a lot of objects that we might be able to synthesise now.

We probably should just stick to glider synthesis, because there are scripts to generate these, they are used in B3/S23 and are much better known.

An active region census, similar to Ekström's

An active region census, similar to Ekström's

I doubt that we can modify the script to work with INT rules, so I will write a Python script for Golly which can run an active region census for any INT rule.

EDIT: The Golly script works, but it is extremely slow and complicated, so I am making a lifelib one instead.

Edit: Unrelated, but massive reduction of P18 SKOP, from “giant Margolus oscillator” (3344) to “P6 rephasing P5” (70):

Code: Select all

x = 18, y = 16, rule = B3/S23-a5

Awesome, tiny p18! I am impressed. But, the reduced p8 sparker is known, in fact was discovered just 10 days ago here.
Edit: I made a few minor reductions to your p18, but then found a major reduction, it now has a minimum population of 61:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 16, rule = B3/S23-a5

Also, this is useless, but this catalyst for the failed stable reflector produces everything in a perfect line:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 10, rule = B3/S23-a5

...

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 12, rule = B3/S23-a5

It builds a boat just 3 cells from the original position, and then DESTROYS IT!
This one is good, producing a boat just 2 cells from original position:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 9, rule = B3/S23-a5
7b2o$7bobo$8bo$b2o$obo$bo2$9b3o$10bo!

But it would need an extra 2 Ts, if you are happy with a moved boat.

P33 that misses SKOP by 3 cells:
