New simpler mechanism. With just one reset it's the new smallest. A second reset makes the period doubler unusable

So...... is the ship called r1x?
@Gustone, what do you want to name this?

It's unnamed. "r1x" means "one reset". I thought about "rotifer" but that'd be too many new names for variations of one thing and i don't even like rotifers
Also, "@" doesn't do anything here

Is it distinct enough from Stentor to need a renaming anyway?

Of course! Stentor was named for its shape and this doesn't have that shape!
Made the second reset work. -21k cells

Can anyone do a comparison between these spaceships and waterbear(possibly also other maco-spaceships too)?

Is there a timeline of each spaceship and its minimum population anywhere so I can create the long-awaited wiki articles?
