Year 2049: hey, look, yet another p101 knightship gun in Factorio++34, accidentally found while testing EnumPattEvo v93b4 with input from a quantum foam generator. Probably it's time to do some serious investigation beyond 8-bit cellstate values?

Welcome to OCA critic, the show that gets facts wrong about your favorite OCA.
Today, we will be looking at B-Univ.
B-Univ is the most complex CA b-engine had ever made.
But is it really that good?

==Still lifes, oscillators, spaceships, guns and wickstretchers==
There're infinite still lifes made of only state 1 or 5 cells, and in fact they're all constructable. Not that good.

Oscillators with period of 3 and above are simple using signal loops, but for p2 a different approach is used: the duoplet. Not good either.

Spaceships can exist, but the small ones are all from Logic Rule (which we'll show at next episode). The only known other spaceship travels at speed slower than 2c/1052, which is ridiculously elephant-sized.

The only known guns are made of state 3 cells that shoots photons. The 2c/1052 gun is too hard to construct.

Wickstretchers travel at lightspeed and stretch a blue wire. There's no known other wickstretchers so bad.

==Rating==
Barely over D&N.

I ran a quick LLS search on the QC for a bb 5000² p81 then it gives this quantum computer:

This forum has some discussion of SAT solvers used to find oscillators and spaceships (or prove them impossible). Has anyone used SAT solvers for their intended purpose of solving the SATs? Many people on this forum are in the United States and in high school.

Hey, does anyone know the glider synthesis for a glider? I couldn't find any.

A glider synthesis has to be a collision, otherwise it would be impossible to define when the target object is formed / how many generations it takes to complete a synthesis, and one wouldn't know when "rewinding the original gliders back in time" becomes ambiguous. Two kickback reactions:

Golly seems to crash in these two situations:

1. When the population changes from 154 to 155.

2. When the population is 157 in two consecutive generations, usually; there's a small chance of it surviving and a small chance of a visually glitched screen but no behavior changes.

How do I fix this?

Have you tried GollyGYM? I heard it fixes crashes.
