A couple speed-tunnel based factories that I don't recognize: G to tub and G to 2 blocks. x = 66, y = 34, rule = LifeHistory $54.A$54.3A$57.A3.2A$56.2A4.A$62.A.2A$60.A.A2.A$51.2D6.A.A.2A$51.2D6.

CatForce is good for finding these sorts of converters: here's a non-engineered solution with repeat time 488. Better is probably possible--that glider is the limiting factor. x = 49, y = 110, rule = LifeHistory 32.A$30.3A7.2A$19.2A8.A5.2A2.A.A$15.2A.A.A8.2A4.A3.A4.A$14.A.A.A17.3A .5A$14.A.A.2A18.A....

I was running barrister on the galumpher-type setup, trying to find a simpler/faster way to ensure that the block was restored. Didn't find anything. But some interesting pi catalyses came out of it: they're all relatively late, between gens 30 and 55 or so, and only involve one side of the pi. x = ...

Digging thru old forum posts, I noticed a partial HFx55B that can be cleaned up with a jujub reflector. x = 50, y = 41, rule = LifeHistory 33.BE$32.BEBE$32.BEBE$33.BE2B$31.5B$30.8B$30.13B$31.15B$30.17BD$28. 19B2D$26.22B2D$26.2BC18B2D$25.3BCBC4B.8B.3B$26.2B3C4B2.7B$25.5BC4B2. 5B$24.10B3.4B$23.4B10.2B...

Here is a dirty HFx140H with an annoying Behive : With having both FNGs to work with, and the amount of (glider-to-stuff) we have, there's probably a solution.

I've done a couple barrister searches on it, but it doesn't seem like there's a straightforward 90 degree reflector. I did find this 180 degree reflector with CatForce, but it's large and unwieldy. x = 42, y = 61, rule = LifeHistory 16.2A.A$12.2A.A2.2A$12.A3.A$14.2A.2A.A$6.2A2.4A.A.A.2A$6.A2.A.A2.3B...

Some g-to-x stuff from running CatForce on that new boojum-based start.

Multiple times, people have asked for a compilation of sparkers. They're scattered across a couple different places. I've collected a good portion of them for purposes of periodic CatForce searches, so I thought I'd make a stamp collection: x = 413, y = 597, rule = LifeHistory 123.2A$81.A42.A$82.2A4...

These throw chaos a good distance.
