This rule was originally posted by toroidalet on TFYADtAiCGOL

(7,5) block push, returning a T on the same line:

x = 7, y = 3, rule = B37/S2-i34qy
obo$o2bob2o$obo2b2o!

It can double up as (14,0), too:

Code: Select all

x = 137, y = 9, rule = B37/S2-i34qy

BlinkerSpawn rubbed two of the orthogonal fuses together to produce a backwards T:

The T-eater is smaller in this rule, but there are variants:

4G turns a block-on-X into a cap-on-X (yielding an intermediate beehive-on-X in 2G):

p40 rake, it could support the block-push, but I can't figure out a way to snake Ts between:

p11 that can turn blocks into gliders, a la the pentadecathlon:

Ah, so the soups weren't exploding, just brimming with new objects. zz_REPLICATOR stabilizes at 335820, with, of course, no actual replicator:

Here's a little growing puffer based on the T-block reaction. Turns out it can burn through another properly-placed block and still survive:

Extensible(I think) growing spaceship based on the T-block. I tried to find a method that combined the two middle DSMMWSS' to no avail:

But that isn't the smallest growing ship. Here's a more boring example that could hypothetically, with enough searching, become natural. Based on a T+tub reaction:

Code: Select all

And another one based on the T+beehive reaction:

All in all, this rule is rife with engineering, especially based on the T+block reaction.

EDIT: Extensible spaceship, just move the bottom disemiMWSS 5n+1, 5n+2, or 5n+3 cells down:

Can it be considered a rake if the spaceships are never able to leave the actual engine? I mean, in terms of engineerable stuff this would be more like a growing spaceship made out of a faster engine that creates slower spaceships, wouldn't it?

It depends on personal preference, I suppose. You could still quite reasonably use the output Ts in a T+G collision or whatever so I'd still consider it a rake.
