I’d also personally like me and Aura to have permissions to read the „The Book Of Life” forum (not the Moderator Discussion one), so that we could know more about the process of constructing a CA textbook so that we could have more ideas for Conway’s Story Mode puzzles.

I cannot copy the contents of the dot due to the known "Selection is outside +/- 10^9 boundary." limitation, but here is how it looks like:
