Is there a way to convert an inducting snake into a shillelagh?
Yes, but no known component works regardless of the inducted object : this conversion seems to require coming from the right side. Here is a 4G solution to your specific conversion.
Code:
Select all
x = 14, y = 19, rule = B3/S23
b2o2b2o$bobo2bo$3bobo$2b2ob2o5$7bo$b2o4b2o3bo$obo3bobo2b2o$2bo8bobo5$
9b2o$9bobo$9bo!

Is there a synthesis component database somewhere?
There are some components stamp collections by Extrementhusiast in this thread :
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2380. The most useful ones are components_v4 and its sorted version by Inferno (a few posts below). An even older collection was provided by BobShemyakin here :
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2441&p=38455#p38455 (I never use it, but it has an interesting sorting by cost and change in population).
Marc Niemiec's database is also useful, because it contains several variants for most syntheses, even if it has not been updated since 2015.
Shinjuku is more a database of syntheses than of components, but can be used that way. For such requests, you have to use the script transfer.py (through paratran.py). See a post on how to use transfer.py here :
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3915&p=212727#p212727. There is now also
transfer.cpp, which does essentially the same thing.
hkoenig also maintains a component database, but since pentadecathlon.com is down I don't think this is available online.
