It would be cool to see a top 100 most common objects and/or a search program for hex life

Funny you say that; I did a manual search for most common objects (using random fill over and over again), I'll post it in a few minutes but IRL events are getting in the way at the moment.

Some new oscs in B256/S34:
And a 446 gen methuselah that's almost p18:
Code: Select all
x = 23, y = 25, rule = B256/S34H

I think it's a bit confusing to have patterns from a bunch of different hex rules in one thread; I wouldn't be opposed to them being in different ones. The original thread title was B2/S34H.
Anyway, my evening got busier than I thought but here's my findings of most common oscillators in B2/34H - just listed the number of times each one showed up, total. It's only from 35 soups so obviously doesn't have that much depth. The names are by David Siaw and other contributors in this blog post and this second one.
2cell -- 510
Spinner -- 55
Bat -- 47
Mouth -- 26
Dancer -- 16
Bone -- 15
Star -- 7
Rotator -- 5
Flower -- 1
Morpher -- 1
No data in 35 soups for Snake, Tristar, or Swimmer.
The Morpher data seems unlucky to me (skewed too small) because when I ran bigger soups recently, it started showing up really often. So's the case with small test numbers.

Here's a p4 that only works next to one of those 120 degree wedges:
I also found a p7 and a p8 which need a 60 degree wedge as support, which I don't have .rle's for yet (and I don't recall whether the p7 also interacts with the opposite wall or not):
Side note: I think Arena would be a nice name for any enclosed stable structure, regardless of form and symmetry (including these hexagonal rings as well as Dean's billiard tables). I find these quite interesting to investigate in this rule because anything that happens inside is safely confined to it and they also supports lots of patterns that cannot happen outside.
Code: Select all
x = 23, y = 23, rule = B2/S34H

I know this is kind of irrelevant, but I wish golly or something had support for a hexagonal grid. Unless I'm missing something. Using a normal square grid is confusing.

A couple new ways to build junctions, and the triangle thingy in the middle is a new p5:

A pattern that expands very interestingly. It reminds me of a snowflake.
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 7, rule = B2/S34H
