guys i found out how the sun wor-- just kidding :) now, more seriously, i just discovered that there's this place between the tigris and the euphrates where they invented something called "money" why don't we do the same? Nah, sounds like a bad idea. We can just exchange stuff. Why give value to me...

(Time to unfreeze this long standoff. No, tin wasn't isolated immediately. It, as well as bronze overall, was first found as a trace component of copper ores that wasn't isolated for a while. About 3500 BC, I say slightly older. We don't have a word about cities occurring yet, so, while we can theor...

I have just trained the wolf that followed us all the way - now it can hunt small game. The copper tools are nice and all, but the deformation is still a problem.

Dog domestication oredates agriculture and I had assumed it present at the beginning.

I don't think we have the appropriate kilns to smelt copper and tin (you made a mistake; zinc is used in brass instead) yet. Para's been inactive for a few days; once he returns I'll solve this with him.

Hi, being the moderator here I feel an urge to respond. I agree fully with Para, b-engine is going on with the stuff too fast. It's not the way. At the amounts Para had discovered copper in it would take a whole lot of rock, time and effort for anything resembling a tool. I agree with Haycat's gold ...

duuuuude this thing is cool, i found a way to tame wolfs! yes, good boy, good boy... sit! there, who's a good boy? who's a good boy? take this treat! Sorry if I'm too nerdy here, but dog domestication predates agriculture and I had assumed it present at the start. Feel free to edit your message ins...

I have frequently been feeding local animals, they trust me now. We apparently can enclose them and breed for food and other useful things!

You are going a little too fast, we need copper and bronze first. And gemsand gold could be nice too.

This is becoming a problem. Heav, if you aren't willing to contribute productively, please don't post. No insults intended. The joke was OK once, but it's too much now. We also need to do these early phases well, for we have a good chance of either rushing them big-time or prolonging it so much it i...

(So here we, in a manner akin to https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5966, discover civilisation step by step from scratch, 'inventing' various things and perhaps naming them a fun way, with maybe some worldbuilding and culture too, but I don't plan to majorly impact this, so do whate...

For me, it’s the opposite way around. Before July or something this year, I was actually contributing, mostly in oscillators, but after that point, there kind of really wasn’t anything in the related threads, so I went to The Sandbox. What about doing OCA? if you mean creating a rule, technically t...

yeah, at first i was like that (when i "discovered" the glider's parent, one of my very first posts here), but now, despite being most often in the sandbox i actually contribute useful stuff (in oca), so... it's never too late to change! and if i, the completely offtopic guy who does everything at ...

I don't really get what are ya talking about, so I will say nothing, but I'd like to point out that the reflector has an odd period of 15, possibly making problems when aiming for p2 circuitry with blinkers and duoplets. 2 reflectors could solve a good deal of the problem though, though it would req...

... And that`s for the four sets of repeaters! And why four sets of repeaters don`t have a name :?: :?: :?: I decide to name the common sets of 4 as they're so common that it's non-sense for them being unnamed. x = 98, y = 30, rule = B3/S23 30bo26b2o$4bo24bobo25b2o$4bo24bobo63bo$4bo25bo12b2o50b2o$1...

Hi, gonna restart this. https://discord.com/invite/hWEVVhJHsG This is a permanent link to a server for my rules. Meant for all rules except for Traffic Flow and Pi puffer life, for now at least. It has seen some activity. I've been into a little rulegolfing lately. B2e3aciy4jnw68/S123a68 (currently ...

Given TF has problems with destruction due to its high activity level I'm gonna research destruction now. Neat 4G sideways destruction of the reflector: x = 26, y = 56, rule = B2e3aciy4jnw68/S23678 6$13b2o$13b2o2$12b2o$12b2o2$12b2o$12b2o3$15b3o$15bobo12$11b3o$11bobo8$ 11b3o$11bobo11$14bo$13bobo$13bo...

Given I have started this whole franchise I would like to have an executive decision. Executive decision by BokaBB totally not inspired by dvgrn's recent executive decisions per LW:DR You are not allowed to promote the rules made by you on this thread. Don't ask me for further ones; I won't interven...

Hi! I Just Found A Super Awesome Rule Called /2/2! So Cool! Please Help Me With It, I Am Too Lazy To Do Stuff Myself And Won't Take Any Effort To Learn! Let's Call It Imperial Movers. It Has Many Movers, But I Do Not Know How To Post RLE, So You Must Find Them Yourself. Also, I Found An Interesting ...

One of several related eaters for the rare natural ship. It isn't much, but proves that they can hypothetically be used in circuitry in some ways and is helpfully made of blocks instead of some rarity. Also works with the 2 alternate versions of the ship. x = 23, y = 12, rule = B2e3aciy4jnw68/S23678...

I'd like to note that I was 9 years old when I created this thread, just to provide some context for y'all. Unbelievably, I still had the login to this account saved somewhere.... sorry for all of this :P Hi, welcome back! Don't worry, I know first hand that this community is sufficiently forgiving...

Hi. JHC had said before that he wished HighLife was the rule he originally found instead of CGOL due to liking some of its characteristics. If this by some luck indeed was the case, how would B3/S23 be called in that universe?

Hi. I somehow managed to not notice this new exploration. Anyway thanks. Catagolue suggests somebody discovered it before me, but I was the first one to realize this rule. Nice move, me. EDIT: I'm actually unsure, it could be otherwise too. EDIT 2: It seems to me it is probably mine after all. Anywa...

Synthesising stuff in TF has proven to be rather challenging so far. We should advance in that field.
I challenge you all to synthesise this.

Stickworld’s Number (usually represented by the Russian letter л) is a number existing within Andrew-Moooosey set theory that has the exact value of harpoon(gamma(b)), which is approximately equal to 20.333427. Thus it it commonly approximated as 61/3. The number is named for the fact that the grap...

Please stop using this thread.
EDIT: Ah, the original is locked? Argh. Well, that means this thread is not to be used either.

Writing a lot of posts fast is not a very good thing usually, unless you are a really bountiful discoverer. Most people will see it as annoying at best and spamming at worst.
