From what I hear, for spaceships beginning around periods 7-10 is where stuff gets rather high period to search for.

How do you search for those?Sokwe wrote: September 22nd, 2025, 8:04 pm Continuing with the cell frequency spam, here is a p6 with frequency type "3,6":It seems very likely that p6 oscillators exist with types "1,4,6", "4,5,6", "1,3,6", and "3,5,6". After that, the only remaining unsolved cases with stator cells would be "1,2,6" and "1,5,6". Considering statorless p6 oscillators, there are known trivial "2,3,4" oscillators made from statorless p2 and p3 oscillators, but no known nontrivial example.Code: Select all

I also determined that a p5 of type "2,4,5" would need a rotor width greater than 8. I might try some symmetric searches in this case, as I think the full rotor-width-9 search would take too long.
I made some modifications to my fork of LLS that allow the user to apply frequency and subperiod restrictions to cells. I describe somewhat how it works in this post.

The pentadecathlon reflector needs to be moved 15 cells diagonally each time, but then the fishhook explodes, and it's not obvious to me where it should be moved in order to actually get a period increase.Code: Select all

This kind of experimenting is a good start! There aren't really any mysteries here that you can't solve by a bit more testing.ThePlayzr wrote: September 28th, 2025, 2:57 amI don't know why it's 4 cells, but apparently it is.
I found this by simply moving the fishhook 1 cell diagonally until it didn't explode.
