I found this old post by dvgrn made in 2013 that has a list of lots of still lifes that the 13131 b-heptomino could climb on:

I'm not sure how useful these reactions are or might be but I'll post it here just in case.

I was starting to have some doubts, but it seems it is possible to shoot these mwss pair even on the harder side (which is what my previous construction needs)

Code: Select all

x = 158, y = 121, rule = LifeHistory
10$48.A$47.A.A$47.A.A$48.A14$137.A$136.A.A$136.A.A$137.A14$16.A2.A$
20.A$16.A3.A$17.4A11$29.2A$13.4A13.2A$12.A3.A12.A$16.A88.A2.A$15.A93.
A$105.A3.A$27.3A76.4A$29.A$28.A9$20.2A96.2A$19.A.A6.2A72.4A13.2A$21.A

2A$126.4A$126.2A.2A$128.2A6$30.2A93.2A$29.A.A94.2A5.3A$31.A93.A9.A$
134.A!
Sadly, this these not work at p496, so it seem to hint one should aim toward using a p992 construction instead (or something >650, if an helix can be found). Still, would be great if there was a faster reaction to turn that glider, which is mandatory for most mwss constructions.
