It would be very hard to find a sparker with that much fallback. Not even the p64 can manage that! The reaction is period-agnostic though, so with a bit of luck we might be able to find a high-period sparker that could do it. A gun-based solution might work too (although we don't have any yet).

Since the two sparks become causally disconnected at generation 8:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 10, rule = B2n3-cq5ck7c/S2-i34cekq6i7
b2o$4o$5bo$5b2o$b2o3bo$b2o3bo$5b2o$5bo$4o$b2o!
it may be possible to find a catalyst/second spark which converts them back into the sparks for the hassling reaction. It might be possible to interact with the farther edges as early as generation 6.

This rule intrigued me recently: B3-eq4ceik5ky6i7c/S23-qy4z5ce6i8

A small collection of alien oscillators (maybe the small P5 could be a decent sparker?):

Bump.
It will be a failed one, since it don't complete a full cycle (see my signature for a even more cursed failed rep puffer).

Moving back to B3-eq4ceik5ky6i7c/S23-qy4z5ce6i8, I didn't know this got apgsearched, thank you PK22! there's an absurd number of oscillators here.
from left to right, P6, P7, P8, P10, P12, P14, P17, P23, P34, P42, and P108. I found these in D8 1.

I want to revisit my first rule, Haylife again because it has a lot of potential with its numerous ships, catalysts, and oscillators.
Here's a P7 block hassler.

I do also believe there is a backrake for gliders, I swore I found one the other day but thought rakes wouldn't be cared about so I lost it. I do wonder if a sorta small breeder exists though, given how small the puffer is, but it also feels like it'd be hard to make that puffer.
