Made small changes to the rule table, all notable patterns from previous version can be copied over and work identicallyderbil0 wrote: September 26th, 2026, 11:19 am SUPER double blinker+block puffer, blinker puffer with another puffer acting as a "puffer-chugger" or whatever it may be called officially, and a puffer with another puffer acting as a "converter" from 1 blinker -> 2 blinkers + sheriff block
Also someone PLEASE inform me on some official naming system for these puffers because I don't think "puffer-chugger" is a real term
Also, not sure if it is too early or anything, but how do I request repository support for this custom rule? If that ever happens, this new rule table has comments describing the required parameters/changes to create other versions of this rule
Anyways, some new findings:
Another large puffer, and a replicator + puffer rake:

@RULE MVS
In this rule, evil murderers kill civilians and sheriffs while the heroic sheriffs kill murderers. All the time, people are either dying or being born.
For each condition, there are suggested variables for controlling them; 12 in total
However, some conditions may need to simply be merged into a catchall condition
Total Parameters (12) / format: MVS(BC,BR,BX, SC,SS,SX,SM, P, CH,XH, MT,ST), e.g. this is MVS(BC3-5, BR35, BX2-4, SC2-4, SS23, SX34, SM34, P4-6, CH6, XH3-5, MT2,ST2)
If it can be simpler, please do make it simpler lol
(Each digit, 0-8, in a parameter represents 1 value, and A-B represents a range of values from and including A to and including B. or means something specific depending on the condition that uses it)
