That yields a periodic C→G conduit...

That transparent beehive is the basis of an century eater on LifeWiki, which was featured in Callahan's bistable switch in 1994. There is a 2016 list of transparent objects that is worth checking.

Blending that honey farm with the beehive+fishhook combo in RNE-19T84 is clever, though. I looked at this list of honey farm catalysts, and then I realized that half of beehive push catalyst works:

So now it is time to do serious research to find something at a reasonable recovery time that connects to PF*39C. Hopefully there will be an alternative edge-shooter replacing the old L156+RNE-19T84 one when it is not easy to remove the extra perpendicular glider.

Further remarks: the complex still life is simply to delete a leftover boat on the other side. A Spartan version of this C-to-G seems hard as there is little space for catalysts on this side.

I take it that the recovery time of 127 on HSW47T214 is considered unreasonable?

This BRx181H (slight variant of a known conduit) appears to be unknown
...
Edit: shockingly, this BRx161B is also...

In case anyone is confused by the leftover junk in the original BRx161B, here's a previous discussion of Guam's BRx161B conduit. Maybe the problem was just that Freywa didn't believe it was really a conduit, when the last ECC update happened. This new version doesn't look like it can be chained indefinitely like the old version can -- the first block catalyst would overlap with the wider reaction envelope near the output.

EDIT: To be maybe a little clearer, this means that the new BRx161B (yellow) makes a good "end cap" for a series of old-style BRx161Bs (green), and the B output can then be connected to other conduits to make its escape:

The BRx181H does look new -- at least it doesn't appear as one of the variants in this 2016 post by AbhpzTa -- and it makes an even better end-cap, without the awkward limitations in output direction that show up in the above pattern. The first new eater in the BRx181 (the one replacing the block) does appear in AbhpzTa's post, but the other eater that has changed position is a new discovery, I think, allowing for a clean output Herschel.
