Multiple of these pheonix-like lives spaced together like this fuse together to make a bigger one.

Two spaceships can interact with this and let one through, but one will not work:

I don't think all that is necessary. This will do:

The conduit you have looks useful though, for other reasons.

Yet another suprisingly cheap synthesis:

This is usually a rock, but you can turn it into random ash with this:

I'd go as far as to say that this pattern is indestructible. Of the cells in/around it that can be turned ON by external influences, none of them border a live cell in the pattern with 3 live neighbors, and no cell in the pattern borders two cells that can be turned ON.

[FractalFusion]

Indeed that rock is permanent. In the code below, as long as all cells marked "x" are off, then those cells will always remain off and the "O" cells will always remain on, no matter the state of all the other cells.

Code: Select all

...........
..xx...xx..
.xOOxxxOOx.
.xOxxOxxOx.
..xxOxOxx..
..xOxxxOx..
..xxOxOxx..
.xOxxOxxOx.
.xOOxxxOOx.
..xx...xx..
...........

There are other (infinitely many) patterns that have that property, notably a couple 8x8, and a couple 6x6:

Code: Select all

x = 50, y = 11, rule = B2ce3ai_S23
2$2b2o4b2o8b2o$2bo2b2o2bo6b2o2b2o9b2o10b2o$4bo2bo8bo4bo9bo2b2o7bo2b2o$

2o2bo9b2o2bo$2bo2b2o2bo6b2o2b2o11b2o12b2o$2b2o4b2o8b2o!

There are also "permanent" non-rock eaters, like the following:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 33, rule = B2ce3ai_S23
2$5bobo$5bobo$6bo16$6bo$4b2ob2o$4bo3bo$3bo2bo2bo$3bob2o2bo$2bobo5bo$2b

So those can exist.

Can you break it with multiple ships from different directions?

The only parts that are not permanent are the top and bottom cells. Everything else is permanent. The top/bottom cells will repair themselves unless there is something nearby that suppresses them indefinitely.

So multiple pheonixes merge and become just one. Could this be used to expand one infinitely using rakes?

Probably, that's why I suggested using rakes. You can't extend the Phoenix using the spark from the glider though.
