Nice find! Isn't the right object at generation 42 a variation of Get_SmackeTWO's profile pic?

I wonder how Get_Smacked discovered this object...

That's exactly how I found it! I was messing around with their profile pic. Sadly, the active region doesn't form on its own because it interacts with the pi.
(Btw, it's get_snackeTWO, not Get_SmackeTWO.)

this can certainly reduce the current synthesis for the large SL.
also, on an unrelated note: i feel like there should be a "SL synthesis supply thread" that gives seeds for still lifes.

pls? seems like a pretty easy reduction (id even bet its doable in less than 10g)

How do I set up and use octo3obj and octo3g? (MacOS)

[ElijahKen]

How do I set up and use octo3obj and octo3g? (MacOS)

Since I didn't have golly at the time, I asked Chatgpt to rewrite both search scripts to work without golly.
You will need python installed. You can download the octo3g database from here, and the octo3obj database from here.
I set up my files like this:
octohash (folder):
- octo3gdatabase:
- - octohashes3g_0.txt
- - ...
- octo3objdatabase
- - new-09x11-p2-part1-hashes.txt
- - ...
- matches.txt
- pat.txt
- search_3g_database.py
- search_obj_database.py

I have attached the contents of search_3g_database.py and search_obj_database.py as .txt files (I cannot attach them as .py files).

Place your target pattern in pat.txt, and run the relevant script. search_3g_database.py will output matches as it finds them, and also output them all in one rle when it finishes. search_obj_database.py will write each match to a new line in matches.txt
This is what I use, and it works for me. Let me know if you would like something different!
EDIT: Patched the search_3g_database to include newlines in the output RLE.

I gave up downloading octo3obj because it's several gigabytes and I'm too lazy.

Fixed.
When I run octo3g on just a boat, why is the full "all matches" RLE broken? It doesn't happen for other objects with less syntheses.

[ElijahKen]

When I run octo3g on just a boat, why is the full "all matches" RLE broken? It doesn't happen for other objects with less syntheses.

It looks like it was because I was lazy about adding newlines to the rle string, and it was being directly generated. Thanks a lot for catching this!
It should work better if you change the code block after the "Output findings" comment like this:

        print(f"No matches found for {hv}")

        all_matches = "!"
        print(f"Found {outptr} line{plural} matching {hv} in up to {NUMLINES} lines of the octo3obj database.")
        for idx, (patstr, cells, srcfile) in enumerate(matches, start=1):
            print(f"Match {idx}: {patstr}")
            if all_matches == "!":
                all_matches = patstr
            else:
                all_matches = all_matches[0:-1] + "20$" + patstr
        # Split rle body into lines of max 70 chars
        all_matches = re.sub(r'[\dabcdeo.$]{0,69}[abcdeo.$!]', r'\n\g<0>', all_matches, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
        if save_matches:
            # Write all_matches to output_dir

When I run octo3g on just a boat, why is the full "all matches" RLE broken? It doesn't happen for other objects with less syntheses.

It looks like it was because I was lazy about adding newlines to the rle string, and it was being directly generated. Thanks a lot for catching this!
It should work better if you change the code block after the "Output findings" comment like this:

Note: You need to import re first.
