I sometimes do the same thing. So you're into alternative tuning systems?
1. Extend loose connections to different directions
1.1 then do 2
2. When partial becomes two bands extend them seperately
2.1 If the two bands are too close do 1
3. If see symmetric parts in asymmetric searches extend symmetrically
∞. Use ikpx2

A long time ago I did some investigations into Period 2 oscillators, trying to classify the various rotors and their constituent parts, and understand how to fit those parts together. I've still got some pages I last edited back in 2006 at http://pentadecathlon.com/rotors/rotors.php?page=0 on this subject.
Also, somewhere in these forums I posted a few RLE patterns showing some of the large oscillators that can be constructed from all of these parts. They demonstrated that there's a lot of very simple parts that can be combined together in fairly complicated ways.
Also, Nicolai Beluchenko published "Oscichemistry" back around 2004, a more developed investigation into this topic. I think David Greene made that available on his server, and I'm sure there are links to it floating around here.

Is there support for these states? If not, can we add them?
State 17: never change itself, treated as on considering births of cells, but off for survivals of cells
State 18: never change itself, treated as off considering births of cells, but on for survivals of cells
State 19: changes into state 20 next tick, treated as on considering births of cells, but off for survivals of cells
State 20: changes into state 19 next tick, treated as off considering births of cells, but on for survivals of cells
...
Two more:
State 21: p2 working inverter, changes into state 22 next tick, works like inverter
State 22: p2 silent inverter, changes into state 21 next tick, treated as eternal off
------
Now that we have lots of Life extensions, involving additional states for annotations and evolutions, we need a table summarizing all of them. I will put it in User:GUYTU6J/Life_extensions.
Good idea!
I’ve pmed you that I’m angry with this kind of posting without editing and quoting posts from a long time ago and this is getting quite annoying.
I’d like you to cut half of your posts and edit them.
Please!

Found this by accident while trying to complete a bi-pond-based MWSS synthesis. There's practically no use for it, but the glider comes out blazingly fast, in only 9 generations:
x = 6, y = 8, rule = B3/S23
obo$2o$bo2$2b2o$2bobo$4bo$4b2o!
IK this is the old version of wwei, but you've got to see this pattern from an email of Gustavo (from several years ago where I had private contact with him):
