- October 16: David Bell constructs an engineless 3c/7 orthogonal rake, demonstrating that 3c/7 rakes of all periods 770 or greater can be constructed.
- October 13: David Bell discovers a period-35 3c/7 orthogonal rake based on a spaceship by iNoMed.
- September 27: 400spartans reduces the unsynthesizable still life record again, from 154 live cells in a 252-cell self-forcing patch to 153 live cells in a 245-cell patch.
- September 25: Luka Okanishi discovers a period-38 glider gun engine using a partial by Period1GliderGun; the gun was subsequently reduced by several other contributors.
- September 14: ENDW’s first forum post contains an implementation of Goldtiger997's proposed omniship design with velocity (16,9)c/60 and period 600000000. This design allows the construction of spaceships for all non-orthogonal velocities strictly below the spaceship speed limit.
- September 11: russellsprouts constructs the first Langton's Ant emulator in Life not based on the 0E0P metacell.
- September 11: I6_I6 constructs the first self-synthesizing reflectorless rotating oscillator in Life; Goldtiger997's previous design was not truly self-synthesizing.
- September 10-11: Nora Brown constructs the first c/6 diagonal puffer, using a reaction by Hunter. iNoMed constructs some smaller examples the next day. While c/6 diagonal puffers based on the Speed Demonoid design are possible, none have yet been constructed, and any such puffer would be much larger.
