Here's my useless, but satisfying to watch, components. I usually post these on the discord.
Adds a long cap on dove to width 2 surfaces:
x=22, y = 17, rule = B3/S23

Ridiculous decoration (loop siamese something) onto anything that a tail can be added on:
x=15, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

Ship to long hook on some stuff:

Symmetrical add-to-loaf component:

This one is nice. Adds a whopping 26 bits onto a ship. Clean, too (interestingly enough, it still produces a 20-bit still life if you remove the ship):
x=13, y = 13, rule = B3/S23
