Synthesis components

[mvr]

I've run a script to hunt for opportunities where a new component could be helpful. Some recipes contain complicated sequence of steps that ultimately only make a small change to the target. Finding a single step which does the same work would cut down such recipes a lot, and (more importantly?) make it a lot easier for transfer-like tools to apply the same transformation. This is especially the case for sequences that involve getting over a large population hill in the middle.

Here's a wishlist of ones that look useful to me. I have no eye for how difficult they would be to pull off!

From a quick look at the others, it will be difficult to find more one-step components. For most, the easiest way to get improvements will be to optimise the existing recipe.

There is currently no instruction on the LifeWiki page Tutorials/Glider_syntheses for how to find a synthesis component for a target conversion via non-natural predecessor search and artificial assembly of many small parts. Could someone shed some light on it for beginners?

Is there a component which turns an inducting block into an inducting toad (as seen here)?

Is there a component that can help synthesize xs31_0c88bp6o8a6z6513496 through the step of catalyzing a drifty eater 3?

4G step, found with spark-search

What’s spark-search? Is it a script? If so, how do I use it?

If you manage to wizard up any more component reductions, this is probably the most brutal remaining one I can think of that really looks it should be manageable a lot more cheaply.

This might be a slightly better thread for this type of request

In the same vein, perhaps a component reduction may be available for this conversion (pulled from xs23_8kihle0dbz641's synthesis)

Fast component that is probably not very useful.
