many other sparks work for the domino sparks so they should be easy to find (it should be completable as stable, p2, p3, p6, p11, p22, p33 or p66 but i'm too lazy to look for stuff that works) but finding a blinker factory will be the real deal

Edit: it only came to attention one hour after posting that this is known with a smaller stator as xp16_wg88rb8r5ozw11y02525t2kmzgk2gb3y0c97011z11 in "oscthread_stdin" and is derived from xp10_oo0u13z624b8l90cx8ozy11ad1dd11 which has a glider synthesis. This should not affect the novelty of soup-based glider synthesis reported in this post. Apologies for any inconveniences or confusions.

No worries, especially since your version with the slightly larger stator costs about 100G less, that is absolutely worth knowing about.

is it possible to make a periodic catalyst that acts as an eater in one catalysis and an eater3 core in the other?
edit: it could actually entirely be possible that a stable catalyst exists that would explode but stabilizes itself due to getting hit again

Back in this post I gave a p27 oscillator that consists of p3 oscillators shifting the phase of p8 oscillators (R2D2) which phase shift a p5 oscillator which in turn mutually shifts the p8 oscillators. Following a discussion on Discord, I found an alternative p27 that doesn't involve a mutual phase shift. In this case, p3 oscillators shift the phase of p4 oscillators (gray counter), which shift the phase of the central p5. Without the outer p3 oscillators, we get a p12 oscillator with the p4 oscillators shifting the phase of the central p4. Shown below are the outer p3s (left), the inner p12 (right), and the combination giving a p27 (center):

The phase shifting of gray counter gives a p9 oscillator, but it only includes 3 phases from gray counter, while the other 6 phases are the phase shifting reaction:

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

It's possible to shift the phase of gray counter to a p9 oscillator with 5 phases coming from gray counter and only 4 phases needed to shift the phase, but unfortunately it can't be used for the p27:

Code: Select all

x = 18, y = 23, rule = B3/S23

Not sure if the p14 pipsquirter is actually new, but it doesn't seem too useful, for now.

How did you find the p14 pipsquirter?
I went through the forums, pattern collections, and more, for a long time, looking for whatever things I can combine, via my pattern recognition. I notice via looking at the structure (its similarity to another structure), and editing cells in golly, and looking at the results, that the p7 can actually output to a drifter extension part (that then feeds to the pipsquirter part), and it happens to double the period to p14.

The pipsquirter part is a catalyst actually a part of a family of drifter catalysts that produce the pipsquirter reaction which Barrister, Bellman, and Silk tend to dig up given enough time and space. The catalyst forms a reaction with a p14 and makes the internal billiard table.

Looks like the p4 domino sparkers don't need to be welded; this version removes 12 cells from the stator:

Not sure if the p14 pipsquirter is actually new, but it doesn't seem too useful, for now.
Very minor, but there is a 1-cell stator reduction in the p14 pipsquirter (different stabilization at bottom right):
