Syntheses of Unusual Still Lifes

[Saka]

I would like to start a topic for posting the synthesis for an unusual or strange still life, like:

Code: Select all

x = 23, y = 24, rule = B3/S23
20bobo$20b2o$21bo$2bobo$3b2o$3bo6bo$11bo$9b3o5$19bo$7bo10bo$bo5b2o9b3o
$b2o3bobo$obo13b2o$16bobo$16bo3$6b3o$8bo$7bo!

(From useless discoveries topic, page 29)
Or

Code: Select all

x = 25, y = 11, rule = B3/S23

(Same source)
I'm interested in this sort of thing for some reason

Glider is to stabilize, and if able to synthesize, should be called Ship-tie > Ship on long-boat with racetrack(?)

I believe the technical term for that would be "Integral with tub and cis-half-bakery".

New 13-glider synthesis of 22-bit still life

It only takes 1 glider to kill a blinker (not two like shown above), bringing the cost down to 12. Someone may be able to work some magic to eliminate another clean-up glider, but those are less redundant. But there's a bottleneck period that could probably be utilized to reduce the synthesis even more, at gens. 106/107 and gen. 114.

P.S. (3/28/2016): I found a 3-glider collision that produces the beehive and one of the blocks used in this, so we get a 9-glider synthesis:

P.S. (3/29/2016): What rotten timing! Just a few minutes after posting that, I found a much faster 3-glider synthesis of the beehive and block. So here's a faster and more compact 9-glider synthesis:
