It leaves behind the same block as is near the herschel prior to being converted to an LWSS.

From what I've found, the conversion chain can contain or start from the following elements:

Pre-honeycomb (converted into traffic light)
Pre-traffic light (converted into glider in any direction)
Slope-forward loaf (converted into forward glider)
Forward glider (converted into back glider)
Backward glider (converted into herschel + block)
Herschel (converted into LWSS + optional glider)
LWSS (converted into herschel + block)

[HartmutHolzwart]

what was that about the knightship tagalong?

[knightlife]

what was that about the knightship tagalong?

It is based on an oblique reaction I discovered back in November 2007 while investigating backrake interactions with seemingly unending novelty. Usually the novelty did finally end after a million generations but there was one that kept going that I called "supernova X" because it made "X" patterns consisting of gliders firing in all directions, intermittently stopping for a (seemingly) random time and then starting again at a new location. One day I noticed a glider stream with an oblique kink in it that was awfully strange at a zoomed out scale. Fortunately I saved the p28(3,5) oblique reaction but unfortunately did not save the starting pattern. I saved so many similar patterns I don't know which one contains the kink, if any. I'm just glad I saved the basic reaction. It is a glider stream from a backrake which hits a group of cells that follows the moving stream of gliders and then repeats every 28 tics. Because the glider stream from a rake actually forms a line that is slightly oblique, the repeating reaction probably will also fall on a line that is oblique, in order to keep up with the moving rake. By adding another rake I was able to make a caterpillar style spaceship that moves at an oblique angle (3,5). It is not a true knightship because it requires the backrakes to continually supply gliders to sustain the reactions (and the two backrakes are traveling in parallel but in a different direction!). But the tagalong does move at an oblique angle and is totally dependent on the backrakes to pull it along. The tagalong can be made any length as well.

I have not posted the patterns yet because I need to dig through the various versions of Golly and sort out all the files I worked on from time to time.

I thought it was pretty cool, I don't know if anyone else will think it is.

As the rake demonstrates, it is possible to split as often as desired.

Block heisenburp?

A block puffer in front would merge two puffers that interact, but not really

Second post in a while. (First was new topic.) LWSS, beehive, and other debris from beehive in different location and B-heptomino (which can also be replaced by a Herschel):

Interestingly enough, the beehive gets moved at exactly forty-five degrees! That means a diagonal puffer would do the trick for stabilization and production. Now if only we could find one of those...
