Possible starting point for a lobster eater + glider converter, just need a glider and a tandem separated by very few lanes: x = 116, y = 116, rule = B3/S23 12b2o$bo10b2o$2bo$3o16bob2o$19b2obo6$63bo$11bo5bo44bo$12bo3bobo43b3o$ 10b3o4b2o3$47b2o$47b2o4$38b2o$39bo$39bobo$40b2o$2b2o$2b2o$37b2o$38bo9b 2o...

What is the expected method / constraints? E.g. one could destroy the settled honeyfarm and construct a block in empty space by colliding gliders. Or one could use a slow salvo aimed at the settled honeyfarm to transform it into a block in the desired location. Can the honey farm be turned into a b...

It is possible to make a converter with adjusting output clearance? If I understand correctly, you could create a block, then push the block as far as needed, and then convert the block into a sideways glider. (The repeat time would not be too good, but the lane of the output glider could be as far...

It is possible to make a converter with adjusting output clearance? That is, you can make the output clearance as high as possible? One possibility of doing this is to make an X-to-wickstretcher converter plus a glider that be adjusted to different timings through the spacing of reflectors to ignite...

Why does the dove have a special role in conduits even though only 3 conduits are known with it as an input (and all output a glider, which can be easily obtained another way). Many other common active regions look more promising than this one, yet none of them get on the list of conduit active regi...

Perhaps this is notable enough to be put in the 117P9H3V0 article? An phase-agnostic eater for it, to be specific.

Cheaper version: Maybe, or maybe not. There is not much space around the loaf. At least the loaf+block version ( xs11_w69a4z33 ) is compatible with the three-glider synthesis displayed on Catagolue, and only one of four gliders doing the recovery work needs to cross the input/output lanes: x = 94, ...
