Only use some reflectors to round it.
Note: Oh, it would break the reaction!

*yawn* What a nothing-to-do day! Let's be the only person in the world to do CGOL during boring times. :)

Exactly. Any reflector would need to occupy the same space as the reaction, unless it was some convoluted G->G converter, say, that split the glider into several copies, then synthesized a new one in front of the tub from a distance.

Besides, there is no catalysis here, since all of the objects in the source reaction are destroyed. None if them is a catalyst.

In case there's other people out there trying to find or figure out how to use catgl: https://github.com/dvgrn/b3s23life/tree/main/catgl Sorry to repost to a dormant thread, but I don't see this link anywhere else. (If someone could add it to the Wiki that'd be great)
