This rule is Snowflakes but with S4a added onto it. Most low-level things still work: Snowflake wirings, snowflake pushing, timed-G duplicators, and even the reflectors, but there is one new thing that shows up. Take a look at the G+dot:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 3, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4aiz5ar6i7e
2o$bo3bo$2o!

Notice how it tends to blow up instead of just pushing the dot one forward, and this happens with the T-tetromino, which is actually gen 6 of this rle. It's, at its heart, a 2c/11 engine, as well as a potential signal.

There is also 4 distinct 5c/33 puffers, shown here:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 70, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4aiz5ar6i7e
7bo$7b2o$7bo5$7bo$7b2o$7bo11$7bo$7b2o$7bo5$7bo$7b2o$7bo3$bo5$bo3$7bo$
7b2o$7bo5$7bo$7b2o$7bo3$bo6$o2$7bo$7b2o$7bo5$7bo$7b2o$7bo!

Soups also last a bit longer on average due to the T, and trapped-G still lifes last a bit longer.

I think the G+Dot is quite promising, and may lead to a long-elusive pull reaction in an all new rule. Thoughts? Apologies this post is so short, but I'll do a bit more searching tomorrow morning, for things like reflectors. For now, have this p65 apgsearch generated:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 25, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4aiz5ar6i7e

EDIT: Almost a c/18 puffer:

The p2 phoenix in this rule is way more common than snowflakes 1, because of this right here:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 9, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4aiz5ar6i7e

EDIT: two p62 shuttles, nearly statorless:

Here's a 6G synth of one of the puffers:

May be a lead on a new reflector:

Doesn't that just become the classical p2 reflector?
