Interesting facts about the thinnest glider splitter in this rule:
It takes exactly 2148 generations from 1st interaction (gen 7 in above) for the split glider to appear.
The stable circuitry required for it has a total population of 2721.

That's an interesting and unusual pattern. I see the width is required only to allow the gliders to get a certain distance ahead of the "ripple"? I wonder if there's any sort of reaction that could delay/slow down the "ripple", to allow compression of that unwieldily long repeating section.

[KittyTac]

The proper word is "lit", by the way.

[toroidalet]

That's an interesting and unusual pattern. I see the width is required only to allow the gliders to get a certain distance ahead of the "ripple"? I wonder if there's any sort of reaction that could delay/slow down the "ripple", to allow compression of that unwieldily long repeating section.

If you had looked at all the patterns you would've seen that the second splitter (repeat time 68) does exactly that.
smaller conduit-based splitter with repeat time 311:

the thinnest splitter can be shrunk by over 100 cells horizontally to reduce the repeat time down to 34 (the minimum for pushing tech) at no cost for thinness (the horizontal bit at the very end bumps the repeat time up to 37):

Also slow-salvo construction arms for rs and gliders (to move it in the opposite direction just use the push salvo from the other side. The gliders are spaced out because that's the minimum spacing for an adjustable-period gun to fire):

anyone up for making a universal construction toolkit?

anyone up for making a universal construction toolkit?

Well It seems that we have many ingredients but I find it difficult to side-shoot gliders (or even an R) which makes it difficult to construct complex salvos where gliders (or Rs) are close to each other.

Anyway I constructed this 'glider inserter', likely not optimal (based on my old splitter technology):

It uses a dirtier reaction than typical logarithmic patterns in this rule

Just to note, that's not O(log(t)) bounding box growth; rather, it's O(sqrt(t)). For O(log(t)), the repeat time has to be multiplied by some factor each iteration, but here the repeat time just increases linearly.

It looks like four T's and two dots. Cramped, yes, but nothing is impossible. Good work on finding it!
