Can you give some details on how you found it? I'm trying to improve Tinkerbell's ability to search for wire solutions. I'm also hoping to release a preview version of it soon, but Barrister is clearly faster right now, so it will be mostly as a reference. I found the emitter in this form: x = 140,...

Here's a result I found, I don't know it this could be cheaper to rebuild than the pond and biblock? x = 46, y = 51, rule = LifeHistory 28.2A11.2A$28.2A2.3A.3A2.2A$32.A5.A3$26.A.A5.A.A5.A.A$26.2A.A3.2A.2A 3.A.2A$29.A3.2A.2A3.A$29.2A3.A.A3.2A$31.A3.A3.A$29.3A7.3A$28.A13.A$ 28.6A3.6A$34.A.A$26.6A2.A.A...

BF20H with nice connectability:

On the LifeWiki page about me Simon Ekström someone added:

But this is another Simon Ekström and not me, I'd appreciate if someone with editing right would remove that link.

Thanks! I have been running this for about 14 hours now with a speed of ~470000 soups/second (because I have 7 separate searchers up). Hasn't been finding anything new, though it found some syntheses that were not known in 2017 (e.g., xs19_69b88gz69d11, xs17_02llicz696), when you first ran the prog...

I attempted to replicate your efforts to get more CPU time in your amazing search program. Unfortunately, I don't know how to use your GoLGrid library, even after some attempts at reverse-engineering, as it's undocumented and neglected for years. I tried to do this task with other libraries such as...

I was asking around on Discord to see if there was a "census.txt" form giving the numbers and patterns, like 617733 2o$o2bo$obo! 531779 b2o$2o$bo! 471544 obo$obo$3o! etc. but didn't hear of any such thing. I don't really need the count numbers for my project, so am not tempted to write a (sub)Optim...
