The Snarkmaker is a single-channel stream of gliders that, when aimed to collide with an elbow block in a specific location, will perform a slow glider construction of a Snark, directly on the same lane as the incoming gliders. This allows a construction arm to add one or more lossless elbows, so that it can bend around multiple corners without an exponential increase in construction cost.
The Snarkmaker recipe used in the single-channel and Hashlife-friendly Demonoids, Orthogonoids, spiral growth patterns, and Hydra contains 2,254 gliders. This could be considerably reduced with a customized search program.
The pattern below is too big for even LifeViewer.
