When using CatForce, occasionally you'll get a loaf as a catalyst that creates a normally-unsalvageable Pi very close to itself. Here's an example, with a sacrificial block to turn that Pi into a glider

We now know that oscillators all the way down to p3 can replace these sacrificial blocks. The p3 used in the p87 gun doesn't work because it depends on an adjacent block, but I'm sure that some JLS/LLS results could find oscillators that will have this functionality for these loaves.
