or you can use a single eater to turn it into an R:

6o$4b2o$4bo$4bo$4bo$4bo$4bo8$9b2o$9bobo$11bo$11b2o!
pro tip: always try looking at later parts of the evolution to catalyse instead of the first few generations. there's more options than you'd think.
next, another hard two-block predecessor:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 5, rule = B3/S23

yes, there are ways to eat both of the blocks.
