Re: Factorio (R3,C2,S2,B3,N+)

Agree, more apgsearching (across all 16 symmetries) could yield an unexpected sparky oscillator that would lead to a gun. "Hacked gencols" would be another possibility if it exists (does it?) I used modified gencols to find a p98 glider reflector in B357/S238 ; the p98 oscillators there are not very...
