PT14 (if I understand naming conduits correctly), although the BTS gets in the way of the new pi heptomino unless we find something else smaller or something that can survive being hit twice from different directions

Code: Select all

Getting the pi heptomino into that input position looks even harder than getting a signal out again.

Every now and then on this thread I try to convince everyone to always start with a known conduit that outputs signal X, when you're placing catalysts to affect an input signal X. Otherwise, the things people find always seem to be Potentially Cool Except They Can't Possibly Be Used.

EDIT by dvgrn: Bureaucratic maintenance question: Is there any reason to keep old versions of the ECC draft around after a new one comes out? Seems like it would work to just update one post, and then link back to it whenever an update happens. I've updated the first-post link to point to this post.
I keep hoping that someone will update the conduit-sorting script for the two-dimensional layout. I actually downloaded the entire EEC folder earlier today to do it myself, but I didn't see import golly in the conduit-sorting script, so I assume that I got the wrong file.
I am tentatively considering myself back.

Yes. Maybe that should just be called a house catalyst or house-type catalyst in situations where the specific manner in which the house is stabilized is irrelevant.

I did notice that that the designed shape for the "I-heptamino" was now altered to be descripbed with an nonomino. I did arbritrarily choose "I" over "H", which is also leads to the same nonomino, but I guess H makes sense it current used by the D heptamino (which used to be referred to as the "J" heptamino? forum archeology required here). For the sake of posterity, I would use the logo for I have here, even though it does not seem to have a clear lineage to it since: (1- is it smaller, 2- it is a contiguous shape). The only thing is that it change the time on all the conduits, but that's is not and issue. Of course, this is my personal option ^^.

I guess did not notice that the C in the collection is not the same as the original C heptomino. there is a hexomino precursor for that one anyways.

However, using this catalysis at generation 10 of the R-pentomino fails because of an extra dot spark emitted. In addition to the signal-generating catalysis, I also found this improbably small alternate mechanism that, while it doesn't fit within the standard Herschel evolution, allows for this awkward R-to-Q:
