Two of them can be made even smaller. You should probably be familiar with the hoeyfarm predecessor, as it is the most common way that honeyfarms form (e.g. of all the 2-glider collisions that make one, all but one do it via this predecessor).muzik wrote:Making familiar fours with the lowest amount of cells possible, to my knowledge: ...

The Seirpinski triangle, or at least the lattice version. It has some cool mathematical properties, e.g. it is Pascal's Triangle with even numbers black and odd numbers white. It can be made by repeated XOR, which is how it arises in cellular automata. Someone has made a seirpinski breeder in Highlife if I'm not mistaken, possible because the highlife replicator strands naturally perform XOR on the strand every replication cycle.muzik wrote:What's the name of the pattern this evolves into? Made of varying sized triangles?
