EDIT by dvgrn: This post was reported in hopes of getting the previous content restored. Sadly, there's no post edit history in PHPBB forums, the way there is in wikis -- so this kind of damage is generally permanent, unless a separate record has been kept somewhere. So I can restore the title, but that's about it.

I've sent a PM to try and sort out why Neocaridina is doing this, and to try to make sure that it doesn't happen again.

Although a replicator exists, this rule is surprisingly apgsearchable due to the rarity of the rep.

Code: Select all

#R B34w5y/S234w5a8
!
[[ RANDOMIZE ]]

EDIT: I think there's a need for archiving this thread myself.

Here is the rep, for anyone wondering:

The replicator looks the same as the pentadecathlon in one phase, and is formed by 2 TL sparks.
It's a 3c/12o linear sierpiński replicator.

A little pattern collection:

The barge siamese loaf is quite common in this rule (more common than normal loaves and barges, I think). They arise from this reaction which produces 2 of them. (Coincidentally, it's a loaf predecessor in Life.):

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B34w5y/S234w5a8
2bo$bobo$o$bo!

Here are some reactions involving them:

Code: Select all

# Catalysis, conversion to loaf back tie loaf and usage as a glider OTT
x = 31, y = 10, rule = B34w5y/S234w5a8
b2o12b2o10b2o$o2bo10bo2bo8bo2bo$obobo9bobobo7bobobo$bobo11bobo9bobo$2b
o2b3o8bo2bo8bo$5b3o$6b2o$27bo$27b2o$26bobo!

Reaction reminiscent of the half-bakery reaction:

Code: Select all

# Glider hits pair of barge siamese loaves, flipping 
# them diagonally and displacing them by (3,23) while 
# producing a blinker and block
x = 10, y = 16, rule = B34w5y/S234w5a8
7bobo$7b2o$8bo4$7bo$6bobo$5bobobo$6bo2bo$7b2o$2bo$bobo$obobo$bo2bo$2b
2o!

Glider + block = 2c/9d:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 7, rule = B34w5y/S234w5a8
obo$2o$bo3$2o$2o!

Boat is 2c/9d OTT:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 6, rule = B34w5y/S234w5a8
9bo$8bobo$bo7b2o$3o$ob2o$b2o!

2c/9 kickback:

Hats (c/3o) are rare, and usually form when a TL spark is perturbed:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 7, rule = B34w5y/S234w5a8
9b3o$9bobo$9b3o$3bo$2bobo$o2b2o$o!

1G seed for mirrored table and 2 gliders, found from a soup:

HFs are uncommon, but when they appear and have enough space, they evolve into xs36_c89f0f98cz319f0f913 and 4 blinkers:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B34w5y/S234w5a8

Rare diagonally symmetric reaction that produces a canoe:

Line of 8 becomes 2 mirrored caps, line of 9 becomes xs32_4a9e0e9a4z259707952:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 16, rule = B34w5y/S234w5a8
9o15$8o!

Line of 24 is a 426-gen diehard:

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 1, rule = B34w5y/S234w5a8
24o!

Clean 4c/15o, 6c/87o and (5,2)c/13 TL-based fuses:
