There are several different general techniques known right now that helps you make corderships. I will try edit and put together a brief summary here.
Some general ways to corderize puffers:
One of the easiest ways is just apgsearch the rule or make a program that places two or more copies of the puffer you want to corderize. The 2 engine cordership is found using a program. You can do this manually, but usually it will take more time if you are not experienced. This is a method that you can use on other things like (failed) replicators and unstable engines.
making use of small common spaceships:
Some common corderships using small ships are like these:(please don't mind my terrible drawings, green represents engines, red represents trail, white and yellow represents glider stream. the glider stream is to delete the trail the puffer leaves behind)
Code: Select all
x = 47, y = 19, rule = LifeHistory

Here are some general techniques regarding rakes. these can be combines, as glider streams can be always be replaced by still life trails.
Code: Select all
x = 145, y = 31, rule = LifeHistory

How you should combine these does require some experiences, and it is not very simple.
Here is an example for some more complicated constructions.
Code: Select all
x = 55, y = 27, rule = LifeHistory

This is a bit uncommon, and here's an
example by silversmith
Not using any ships: pretty straight forward, but just searching with a program might be faster for these.
Code:
Select all
x = 21, y = 15, rule = LifeHistory

There are other common designs using no gliders, and basically looks like this:
Code:
Select all
x = 53, y = 25, rule = LifeHistory

Edit something: I just noticed that naming files the same name is a bad habit.
Edit something +1: I just noticed that you can upload max 3 files. Time for a ruletable and stuff.
Edit something +4: I just noticed you can upload more than 3 files, but you can't scroll down and get to them.
Edit 23: I will work on this later (like 12 hours later)
