Boat flipper, probably known...
I found a similar reaction that can turn a boat...
"Turning" vs. "flipping" is mostly a matter of interpretation when it comes to boats. These two are pretty much the same reaction as far as the boat is concerned, just with different outputs:
Code:
Select all
x = 43, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

So we just need a pi very close to the boat to have a very quick and clean reaction! (hooray)
I still have no idea as to how this is useful in any way, but I guess that's why it's in this thread.

While testing a script to find Blonkic (using only blocks and blinkers) 1G seeds, I found this reaction:
Code:
Select all
#C Blonk-tie descendant + 2 blocks > HWSS + beehive
x = 23, y = 30, rule = B3/S23
21bo$20bo$20b3o15$2bo$2bo$2bo4$2o$2o4$2b2o$2b2o!
Adding an extra block (placement found manually) leads to a 4 object 1G seed for a HWSS:
Code:
Select all
x = 23, y = 34, rule = B3/S23
$20bobo$20b2o$21bo15$b3o5$2o$2o4$2b2o$2b2o3$2o$2o!
I believe it may be the smallest known HWSS seed - the one listed on the wiki (also with 4 objects) has a population of 21 cells and bounding box 14x14 (196), while my example has a population of 15 cells and bounding box 4x16 (64) in its minimum phase. It also has the advantage of being Blonkic.
Is it the smallest known HWSS seed, and is it new?
EDIT: octo3obj has one with bounding box 10x7 (70) and population 18, but it is still larger than my example:
Code:
Select all
x = 14, y = 7, rule = B3/S23

EDIT: octo3obj has one with bounding box 10x7 (70) and population 18, but it is still larger than my example.
It's probably new, since collision enumerations haven't been done for long thin bounding boxes, only for square bounding boxes like
11x11 or 12x12.
There are
three octo3obj results for a clean HWSS, and one of them has a single-phase bounding box of 10x6 = 60 cells, slightly smaller than 4x16=64, and also a 14-cell population:
Code:
Select all
x = 11, y = 8, rule = B3/S23
4b2o$4b2o3bo$9bo$3o6bo$5b2o$5b2o2b2o$8b2o$10bo!
The all-phases bounding box is 10x7, but the all-phases bounding box of the new 14-cell HWSS seed is considerably bigger than that.

This might have been discovered before due to its simplicity, but a glider colliding with a beehive and honey farm produces a pseudo still life made up of 2 long snakes:
Code:
Select all
x = 26, y = 23, rule = B3/S23

Maybe this could lead to a 1G reduction if you could clean up the debris in 3G.
I found the way to clean up the debris with 3 gliders:
Code: Select all
x = 73, y = 53, rule = B3/S23

And I found if 3 blocks attached to the pattern, then it will be an 8-objects LWSS seed:
Code: Select all
x = 31, y = 30, rule = B3/S23

Not sure if this periodic pi to G is going to be useful, since it has low input clearance (based on a reaction in a p260 oscillator):
Code: Select all
x = 15, y = 24, rule = B3/S23

I think this still life cannot be destroyed with 2 gliders, but I am not quite sure.

If it can't, then we need to update the wiki, because it says somewhere that there are no known still lives that can't be destroyed with at most 2 gliders (and reduce the still life).

H to block, one of the longest known without using gliders for cleanup or catalysis, using two impossibly close eaters and a beehive keeper:

There is not much room to perturb the honey farm + beehive combination that emerges, and this is the most useful thing I could find, for some definition of 'useful'. If you remove the bottom most eater, you get an H to traffic light instead, where the rightmost block catalyses in two directions.
