This pattern lasts 16 generations before leaving a 3xn bounding box:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 8, rule = LifeHistory
.2A$2A2$2.A$.A$A.A$A$.A!

Are there any known patterns that stay in a 3xn box longer, that eventually leave it?

It should be infinitely extendable.

OK, then given a specific n = N, is this pattern in general the best example? Or would there be others staying inside a 3xN box longer?

3G+block -> (different) 3G, found this morning while hunting for PULL / DESTRUCTIVE_FIRE. Seems vaguely familiar, so quite possibly known.

I hope you mean queen bees?

No, of course she means LGBTQ bees.

Whoops, I meant queen bees. Typo.

This basically just creates four honeyfarms, and a tub that takes a bit out of each of them. One of the phases of the queen bee is the same as 3/4 of a honeyfarm predecessor, so this is not surprising. Here is a simpler example of the same mechanism:

Any way to turn that hive back into a block?

Yes, there are multiple ways, and at least two very simple ones using the behive to block collision: (3G+block -> 4G+block)

Code: Select all

x = 118, y = 71, rule = B3/S23
