Well well, that makes a new h-to-e, but also like a douzen other possible connections, since that one seem to have been investigated before:

It would be a nice G to B/H with a transparent/bait Beehive if there is not 2 annoying Blinkers.
It's at least a G3 to H.
G3 = 72 + 2n ticks

Edit:
Why in Speculative thread ?
Because there isn't any H-to-G3 that fit.

Edit2:
May be more useful.
G to B + B to H ==> need a G4 at min 62.
HSW-2T21_SW2T123 fits well.
But the orientation isn't so good.
However, it can be seen as Herschel Transceiver.

How much investigation has been done so far, catalyzing the active mess that shows up if the ships aren't there?

Not so much.
I just ran a CatForce search with 1 catalyst and 1 transparent still life.
That's all.
That's how I found the transparent Ship.

Now I'm running this CatForce search with 'The_Medium_List_of_Catalysts' :

Code: Select all

==Setup==
max-gen 150
start-gen 0
num-catalyst 3
num-transparent 2
stable-interval 20

==Output==
output g2beehive_deriv_block.rle


==Pattern==

But you'll have to be very patient because my machine is slow, not to mention unstable on the power supply side …

Edit:
Pattern to understand the search :

Edit 2024/09/25 :
At this time, there isn't "good" results.
The search is at gen 47.
There is only one result available, just a Honey Farm and always need to reset the Block :

I'll share (in this post) the entire result file when the search will be finished.
I didn't share the still life factories due to the reset Block needed.
(Don't forgot it needs a second Glider and there's a H-to-2G that fits with a bad RT)
