B36a/S2-i34t5e -- its potential probably comparable to tLife

[Rhombic]

This rule also contains a xp276 that is identical to the minimal phase of the tLife xp160: 7v.

AbhpzTa, I've always wondered, what script do you use to find some of your syntheses and strung-together-puffer spaceships? I've seen some remarkably surprising syntheses stemming from weird still life seeds that I can only imagine as coming from the output of some script!!

Only copying/cutting/pasting... etc.
Anyway, I've never used any script for searching yet.
