On an unrelated note, I think we've been forgetting about this natural 2c/8:
Code: Select all
x = 3, y = 5, rule = B3-n6n/S1e2-a3-ae4w5q

It's common enough to potentially make circuitry components using it.
(Looks like a lowercase T -- any name suggestions?)
If so, I believe I've found a 120 cell, repeat time 210, T to this ship, which could be useful if we do find interesting circuitry needing it. I have a feeling it can be heavily optimized though, a lot of these cells are to get the timings right so may not be the true minimum needed. I wouldn't even be surprised if there was one like the other T conduits.

x = 67, y = 158, rule = B3-n6n/S1e2-a3-ae4w5qHistory

The cell and repeat times might accidentally be off by a few, so sorry if they are ;-;
Edit:
Unrelated, but a few conduits using oscillators that turn two of the c/3's (symmetric and asymmetric), as well as the 2c/8, into a T, as well as an eater for the asymmetric c/3 and another eater for the 2c/8 that works in both orientations.

Edit 2: A few other reactions that may have some use (they can be used for a binary counter, but that's about as much as I can think of that'd be useful, though I suppose if you wanted a high period gun with a relatively low bounding box, the first one is useful there)

Edit 3: one such way to make a single piece to a binary counter (I hope it's not broken), albeit I'm almost certain the read and reset can be reduced, it feels so bulky, maybe the other splitter could help, I just didn't use it because of the directions I wanted, and this one directly spat them out.
