Thread for your conduits with active objects uncommonly used in conduits

[MathAndCode]

The conduit threads are getting cluttered, so I figured that making a new one would help.

Edit: While I was search for more I-accepting conduits, I saw an active region that makes two loaves at least twice. Here is one of the instances.

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 14, rule = B3/S23
8bo$8b3o$10b2o$11bo2$2o$2o6$17b2o$17b2o!

I decided to investigate it, and I found that there is a simple way to turn it into a ∏.

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 10, rule = B3/S23
o$3o$3bo$2b2o3$5b3o$5bo$6bo$7b2o!

I didn't find any other conduits accepting it, but I did find this.

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
2o$bo4b2o$bobo2b2o$2b2o2$5b3o$5bo$6bo$7b2o!

This suggests a way to turn a LoM into a B-heptomino. A similar method results in a ∏-heptomino.

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 18, rule = B3/S23
2bo$obo$4bo$2bo$2bo6$4bo$3b3o$2b2o2bo$2bo3bo$2bobo2$3b2ob2o$5bo!

A stable conduit based off of this seems possible.

[Sphenocorona]

This suggests a way to turn a LoM into a B-heptomino.

There is in fact a stable conduit that converts a LOM into a B (the left eater simply eats a beehive that gets left behind):

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 17, rule = B3/S23

Yes, but my partial conduit has a different relative position and timing.

[MathAndCode]

I found an I→C.

However, there has been difficulty connecting that C→I before.

I found a conduit which produces an r-pentomino from an object I don't recognize. Does this wing-like object have a name?

Code: Select all

o$o$bo5b2o$2bo4b2o$b2o2$8b2o$8bo$9b3o$11bo$3b2o$3bo$4b3o$6bo!

And also are there any other conduits which use this block and eater combination?

[hotdogPi]

The object has no name, but it's fairly common. (I don't have an exact frequency, since it doesn't get large enough to be included here.)

[MathAndCode]

Does this wing-like object have a name?

It doesn't have a name that I know of. I think of it as the traffic light predecessor in the bumper.

And also are there any other conduits which use this block and eater combination?

Yes. Examples include HFx119H, HBx106H, PR*9B, and HNW18T106. It's also mentioned in Tutorials/Catalyses#Block_replacements.

[hotdogPi]

The Z-hexomino isn't that common in asymmetrical patterns (about 1 Z-hexomino for every 66 LOM), but this Z → LWSS was too good to pass up:

Code: Select all

It's probable that that was also an independent discovery.

The only other thing of interest I found was a dirty paperclip near the end, although I didn't check non-rock tub catalyses.

I looked for "R-turner" catalyses using a single catalyst and stopped when it reached the R-pentomino. I found five things:

Conduits with B-turner inputs definitely don't belong in the Elementary Conduits thread, until somebody can come up with an X-to-B-turner converter or two that can connect to those conduits.

The above post was reported, so I've moved it to a more appropriate thread.
