Probably slightly more likely to connect to something. The main problem is probably how close the second block from the B comes to the eater on the lower right.

The only decision I made was made
of flowers, to jump universes to one of springtime in
a land of former winter, where no invisible walls stood,
or could stand for more than a few hours at most...

The biggest problem I ran into was that the main workhorse conduit for extracting B-heptominoes from the middle of reaction envelopes -- BBx187H -- doesn't fit here, because there's an eater in the way of the block-killing glider.

That's not to say you can't make this into a Herschel conduit, but I can't see any way to fit one inside gmc_nxtman's very reasonable 300-tick or 100x100 bounding-box limits.

That took three Snarks. I think it could be done with a better recovery time using two Snarks, a syringe, and an H-to-boat converter... but somehow that doesn't really seem like it will be an improvement.

Not sure if this H-to-Pi has been posted before.
It doesn't connect to anything, but it looks like something that all those unconnectible Pi-to-Xs we've seen, should be tested against:

Code: Select all

x = 34, y = 16, rule = LifeHistory

Turns out that Conduit 1 can be directed upwards with another transparent block, into a reaction that looks quite interesting:

Nice! Yes, there must be some more good stuff there somewhere. The R output doesn't quite connect to most things -- but you can get another Spartan B-to-G out of it, at least:

Would be a nice FNG-suppressing H->G, but the loaf gets in the way of most inputs I found...

The loaf is actually just there to clean up an extra bit of junk, so maybe if it can be cleaned up another way, it can be completed? If it can't, well, that's a waste of two transparent loaves...

The second can also trigger the old pseudo-conduit reaction:

Code: Select all

x = 27, y = 36, rule = LifeHistory
3.2A$3.2A3$3.2A$3.2A$15.C$13.3C$12.C$12.2C5$12.C12.2C$12.C.C10.2C$12.

EDIT: And so can the recent attachment to conduit 1:

Code: Select all

13.2A$13.2A3$13.2A$13.2A7$C$.C$.2C$2C2.2C13.2C$C3.2C13.2C4$17.2A$17.A

Is there a use for this reaction, though?

Amusingly, your new G2-in-passing conduit would solve the problem, if you hooked it up:

Unfortunately that would probably increase the recovery time of the circuit far beyond the G2-producing conduit's already rather high recovery time. And I doubt that the other G2-in-passing conduit will improve things very much.

Well, we can make the same consideration that I did with a failed Pi turner from Gustavo however-long-ago and note that the block's in perfect position to eat a second input pi in the same location, making a hard-to-connect Pi-to-G+B into a more connectable 2Pi(Tau?)-to-G+H:

Well, we can make the same consideration that I did with a failed Pi turner from Gustavo however-long-ago and note that the block's in perfect position to eat a second input pi in the same location, making a hard-to-connect Pi-to-G+B into a more connectable 2Pi(Tau?)-to-G+H... (Unfortunately, I needed to suppress the G output for this connection)
There's at least one other connection that can rescue the rare forward G output and produce a clean period-doubling conduit. And one more dependent conduit on the end of that allows a perfectly good composite conduit to be completed:

I keep being so close to finding an actual conduit.

It fits inside a 100x100 bounding box, but I'm afraid it's not even close to 300-tick recovery time...! As a period doubler, it can easily accept input at below p150, though (and then you don't need the cleanup glider from the final dependent conduit.)

I'll add it to the period multipliers collection -- those two eastward output gliders are nice.

Very interesting! So that's another Spartan diagonal component that can be made arbitrarily long, like simsim314's BRx46B and swimmer tracks and so on.

The main limitation with Guam's original BRx161B was that it was really hard to get a signal into it. Because of the awkward uncatchable early output glider, I only remember finding two options -- a "preset" using a (2,1) block pull to pull a block back into catalyzing position before the circuit is activated (see BRx46B pattern below left), or an old Herschel receiver, so you needed a tandem glider to get the signal started.

There was a really awkward spark that just barely reached back and knocked out a catalyst in all of the B-heptomino sources that were known at the time. Either that or the output glider caused trouble -- or both, as in the HL141B, below center.

However, I now see that the Spartan HR203B sneaks a B-heptomino in with no problem, just barely letting the problematic glider out (above right). Did I know that at one point, or did someone else mention it? Are there any other new B outputs that can be connected to a BRx161B successfully?

Another possibly salvagable H->G2:

This one just needs a catalyst to replace the block. (Standard eaters and BTS don't work)
