EDIT: Crossposting from Discord, this is a "quasi p13 glider gun" — it consists of a p13 oscillator connected to a RT 14 spark-to-glider, and it attempts to shoot out a glider every 13 generations, however because gliders this close interact with each other, the result ends up being a p39 oscillator:

Here’s my new extended life rule, SLGExtended. It’s an extension of Disaster16439’s rule StaticLifeGrey, and has three new states. 5, which is identical to SI state 17, 6, which is identical to SI state 18, and 7, which has no SI equivalent, but is identical to state 2 from jayden678910’s rule “some”.

Just porting the Symbiotic B-to-LWSS to StateInvestigator:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 17, rule = StateInvestigator

Not sure if this is already known, but 7-cell p74 glider gun

Code: Select all

x = 21, y = 11, rule = B3/S23Investigator

A G to H with only 3 cells:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 13, rule = LifeInvestigator
8.A$9.A$7.3A7$11.O2$11.B$B!

Are any 2 cell G to Hs known?
3 cell glider reflector that is a failed highway robber:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 14, rule = LifeInvestigator

3 cell G to B:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 16, rule = LifeInvestigator
.A$2.A$3A7$4.O2$4.B4$2.B!

3 cell glider duplicator that IS a highway robber:

Interestingly, it kills the input glider in almost every other lane except for one which reflects the glider, one which produces a beehive and 2 that produce a blinker:

Code: Select all

x = 135, y = 14, rule = B3/S23Investigator
.A36.A37.A33.A$2.A36.A37.A33.A$3A34.3A35.3A31.3A7$12.O37.O40.O42.O2$12.
B37.B40.B42.B2$4.B37.B40.B42.B!

The reflecting reaction can be reduced into a 2-cell reflector:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 12, rule = B3/S23Investigator
.A$2.A$3A7$12.O2$12.B!

Also 3-cell 180˚ reflector:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 12, rule = B3/S23Investigator
.A17.B$2.A$3A7$12.O2$12.B!

To continue, another 3 cell G to H with a much better G-H angle:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 12, rule = LifeInvestigator
8.A$9.A$7.3A4$B3$11.O2$11.B!

A modification of the highway robbing glider duplicator to produce a true 3 cell highway robber:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 12, rule = LifeInvestigator
10.A$11.A$9.3A4$B3$13.O2$13.B!

I think that is all of the interesting results from a highway robbing set of a catalyst-killer on cell and another killer on cell on the side 'off the highway'.

It is worth noting that the state 15 cell can be replaced with (the more common) state 4 cell, as the only time state 15 differs is when using state 4 would otherwise cause a birth to 3 on neighbors:

Code: Select all

x = 222, y = 16, rule = StateInvestigator
8.A29.A29.A29.A21.A29.A17.B19.A29.A$9.A29.A29.A29.A21.A29.A37.A29.A$

It turns out this one is known:
