### Re: The Hunting of the New Herschel Conduits

sadly the current arbitrary threshold number for the repeat time needed for a conduit is 300, so it does not make the cut. dvgrn does not like these glider reflector stabilization too...

well, how about repeat time 299?

I agree. There are plenty of H→G conduits. (The elementary conduits folder has 109, but some probably do the same thing with different sets of catalysts.) I'll start going through them and see if there's one that works.

Edit: None of them work. I might try to create something myself.

I have reduced the cost of universal construction to seventeen gliders and probably to sixteen. All that remains is for the universal operations to be found.

307.
Really, is that all? That means that with a very minimal weld, this Herschel conduit just barely squeaks in under the 300-tick limit and becomes an Official Herschel Conduit that belongs in gmc_nxtman's collection. Here it is with 299-tick recovery time:

When a rectifier cleanup is involved, there usually turns out to be something smaller and simpler that also recovers faster. EDIT: Apologies for the duplicated content with Jormungant's post above. Sometimes it seems as if the PHPBB system just fails to warn me that somebody else has posted ... but probably I'm just being unobservant.

It is a tall order, but I cannot rule every possibility easily. (@dvgrn, I posted that weld first , not that it is going to be popular/useful as you mentioned) well, there is this, but replacing a block from a H is not exactly a trivial task.

Nope. This is a known bug in LifeViewer. I reported it together with the no-drawing bug, but only that was fixed.
Each day is a hidden opportunity, a frozen waterfall that's waiting to be realised, and one that I'll probably be ignoring

The previous known X-to-L conduit is almost as awkward as this one: I just saw something from here (demonstrated in this post with with the Herschel formed from a B-heptomino).

The bait restoration only looks somewhat promising, but I figured that I'd mention it because the LWSS is emitted in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the Herschel would likely come from instead of straight back, which would allow a quicker repeat time if completed. Keep in mind that for all I know, there has already been extensive effort spent trying to make this work. Edit: Here is another possibility. The basic idea is something that has been discussed before, but making the R from a Herschel means that the LWSS exits in a favorable direction for minimizing repeat time.

The main problem with finding a stable catalyst the fact that the object previously throws off a couple of sparks in the direction that the catalysis would likely happen from. There are examples of catalysts that are modified before the catalysis by a spark then changed back during the catalysis, such as the hook with tail in PF*39C, but I doubt that most search programs are designed for catalysts of this type.

There may be another Herschel-making conduit that allows the boojum to be placed closer, which would decrease the repeat time.

Edit: Indeed, preceding the F76 with Fx77 allows for a repeat time of 228.

I have reduced the cost of universal construction to seventeen gliders and probably to sixteen. All that remains is for the universal operations to be found.
