Try setting Advanced > Refresh Rate to something other than Auto, like 60 or 120, that seems to have fixed the speed issues for me. I also had to do it separately for conwaylife and Catagolue.

Oh, that one's tricky... in my experience, it means that it is stuck on a quadratic replicator, that is the only place where I have encountered it. (Apologies if someone else already answered!)

I'm interpreting that as:

Golly WireWold [rule] is Repsplosion, but it messed up.
It says I have to [have] @RULE.
I did it is being stupid [or] what
[What] did I do? What did I do?

Can you please explain how its "messed up"?

Posted: **September 5th, 2026, 10:58 pm**

I tried to replace the rulestring of wireworld with that one rulestring someone (maybe hotcrystal) made to search repsplosion in cfind
It didnt work and it says i can't open wireworld/repsplosion anymore
