I haven't looked recently to see what's known that is compatible with a Caterpillar helix, but I think the general idea is still to dig up a slow-salvo recipe that builds a seed at a safe distance and "throws" an MWSS across a decent number of empty lanes. Activation would be a single glider.

Would the options given in the 50c/154 Condupillar thread work here?
