I have been feeding Silk c/4d ships.

I'm cross-posting this collection of switch engine channel caps from discord, since it has been a few weeks and I haven't been able to find a SE-to-glider. I had two false positives from setting clearances incorrectly so I do think it is doable, and hope this inspires someone to try, or at least sav...

Beautiful! I have been playing with the rule a bit more myself. I ran qfind at multiples of c/2 looking for something sparky and found a useful little 4c/8o, shown here cleaning up after a p96 (period-doubled) c/2 backrake x = 84, y = 174, rule = B37c/S2-c3-c4i6k 47bo$46b3o$46bobo$48b2o$33bo13b2o$3...

Nice rule! I have been trying some antelopewise engineering. I used a two-engine p44 rake as a basis because it gives two of four directions for the product ship, and I found reactions for the remaining two directions that only needed one more engine. Here's a p132 rake for the biggest spaceship I c...

Another breeder. The two-ship collisions above turn the siderake into a nicely transparent backrake, shipcolls tried three-glider collisions and found a synthesis for a c/2 puffer, and period-multiplying filters keep things from self-destructing: x = 358, y = 189, rule = B3ain678/S3458 $267bo$269b2o...

A few people including myself tried running soups, the most interesting find so far is probably this 4c/14d which looks to me like the xq13 pulling some junk along x = 9, y = 10, rule = B3ain678/S3458 b3o$4o$o$ob2o$2b2o2$6b3o$5b4o$5b4o$5b3o!

You didn't say what OS this machine is so I'm guessing gaming PC means wsl, which is what I use. I don't remember if I had that error message, but I do remember having problems until I carefully matched compatible versions of everything involved from windows drivers up. Here's what I said about that...

Version 1.0 of a H-to-2-glider-collision toolkit is here, with every 90-degree collision represented . Not just every product, every timing and parity. Read "1.0" as "complete in some sense but will need patches" because most only have one orientation relative to the input Hershel. Except for B and ...

I found a half-working conversion between conduit descriptions and glider parity, then I made a script that turned out to be pretty hit-and-miss, but did get a handful of new H-to-2-Glider factories: Still lives: beehive, pond, teardrop, 2-Glider-mess (more clearance) x = 532, y = 78, rule = LifeHis...

p48 (2,1)c/6 Gosper glider gun breeder - basically Breeder 1, with a slightly different synthesis, knightwise. It's colossal (about 66,000 cells) but once I was convinced it would actually work I stuck with this design. x = 2500, y = 4861, rule = B3/S23 12bo$11b4o4b3o$10bo2b2o2bo3bo$13bo2b2o$16b2ob2...

I was inspired by https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4868&p=195756#p195702 to experiment with connecting both outputs of Lx65 to HNW conduits, which gives two crossing gliders. I think the results belong here, because the process of searching for Lx65 compatible conduits in the right ...

I noticed that the above is a 2-glider-mess factory, and I already had input files for 2-glider-mess in Silk, so I gave this a look. One large spark turned out to be a century, making a composite H-to-century conduit that I think is named HFx326C (identified manually, please double check). x = 61, y...
