A few incomplete conduit things:

Code: Select all

#C First: weird 1,0 block constellation displacement
#C Second: probably incompletable partial BLx113H
#C Third: weird backward H-to-bakery using a seemingly unexplored transparent block
#C Fourth: way to turn an eater into a TWIT with a conduit

1. They wouldn't need to be small, as you'd either only need three glider streams/side and a way to insert one of them near another or one gun/side and a p168 Herschel-loop-based block factory.
