It's a rule that I created for the sole purpose of clearing the history. I just forgot to change it back to LifeHistory.
I would recommend that as an addition to Golly.

I looked at the 60 sample soups for an xs31 and found that the creation technique is absurdly simple:

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 12, rule = B3/S23

From some additional trawling through wildmyron's 4G results on Catagolue, xs14_2ege12ko can be reduced from 10G to 6G:

Code: Select all

x = 75, y = 63, rule = B3/S23

I post this here because Catagolue's insert-synthesis-here box won't be able to interpret this correctly, since the cleanup gliders are so far away.

EDIT: Another example, xs15_0g0si53z343 from 10G to 8G.

The current cost of xs18_0mmge96z1221 is 12 gliders, which is twice as many as anything else on the new version of the wiki's list of common still lifes. Most of the sample soups boil down to this reaction:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

5b2o$11bo$11bo!
If a 4G synthesis is found for the unstable object, this could reduce the cost to 4 + 2 (block) + 3 (loaf+blinker) + 1 (cleanup) = 10G.

Yes, but the reason for the high frequency is this 4G pattern:

x = 5, y = 18, rule = B3/S23

Maybe a weird (early) clean up with some gliders improves the synthesis.

I don't think you'd be able to improve on the 16-glider synth I added to Shinjuku myself with those kinds of constructions.

Yeah, that looks pretty unlikely. I was hoping someone could use popseq (which I couldn't get to work on Cygwin) to find a synthesis for the junk in either of the two reactions, potentially leading to roughly a 12G synthesis.

I probably should've specified in the original post that it already costs 16G.

Here's a weird reaction I found which I don't know how to turn into a component: (funnily enough, the initial still life has no sample soups)
