Spaceships made up of other spaceships (SMOS)

[Macbi]

What about an SMOS which is made of itself

This is a great question!

EDIT: How about this?

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2ce3aekqy4-acjt5-nqry6-e7e8/S012aei3-akny4cejkrwy5ekqy6ikn7c8
o$bo$bo!

(See generation 8)

[googoIpIex]

Yeah, something like that but maybe with a slightly larger separation.

[Macbi]

How about this?

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2-ak3aejy4j5cijnq6cn78/S12an3ci4knyz5cjr6an7
bo$bo$o!

[googoIpIex]

Yeah, that. I suggest calling these SMOTs. (Spaceships Made of Themselves)

Or, depending on how you classify it, a very strange failedrep.

[Macbi]

Here's another attempt, in this one the ships can actually arrive in their correct position from infinity.

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 23, rule = B2cei3aejy4ijk5cijnq6ci7/S12an3i4iknyz5cj6a

Nice rule too.

EDIT2: There's even a SMOSMOS, c/151d:

Code: Select all

EDIT3: The above rule also has an OMOSMOS, which is period 162:

Code: Select all

It's 9c/805d.

Arguably the first knightship SMOI ever found, by Saka in November 2017:

Split and merge

Code: Select all

Cross-posting my 2c/318d:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B2kn3-nq6i/S23-aeny4iknqtz
obo$3o3$5b2o$5bo$5b2o!

Adding S6ae makes it a rake:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B2kn3-nq6i/S23-aeny4iknqtz6ae
obo$3o3$5b2o$5bo$5b2o!

While adding S5n6ac gives another rake:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B2kn3-nq6i/S23-aeny4iknqtz5n6ac
obo$3o3$5b2o$5bo$5b2o!

Yet another rake:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B2kn3-nq6i/S23-aeny4iknqtz5in6-ik
obo$3o3$5b2o$5bo$5b2o!

Compare with this:

Here's an interesting result from that search:
(396, 0)c/792, 11 cells

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3-cnqy4ej6c7c/S2-i3-aky4-ajkqw5cj6aci7c8
2b3o$4bo$o3bo$b3o$2o!

I'm not even quite sure how to describe the behaviour of the ship. It's kind of like a failed replicator. It's essentially a forward c/2 ship puffer, but because the engine is also c/2 it interferes with itself - and it does so in a quite complicated way which ultimately results in all the puffer output being cleaned up.

This is great. Here's a RMOS for it:

Code: Select all

x = 23, y = 23, rule = B3-cnqy4ej6c7c/S2-i3-aky4-ajkqw5cj6aci7c8
20b3o$20b3o$21bo18$2o$3o$2o!

Note that it's a rake made of spaceships in one phase, and then in a later phase it's also made of a different kind of spaceship.

EDIT: In the second rule above there's a reflectorless rotating gun:

Code: Select all

x = 137, y = 114, rule = B2kn3-nq6i/S23-aeny4iknqtz6ae

I'm running two searches simultaneously.
This 2c/2100d works by shooting three 4c/76o and colliding them:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 14, rule = B2i3-ek4-aitwz5k6n8/S23-a4ity5e6n
3b3o10$b2o$ob2o$o2bo$3bo!

This 7²c/7³d shoots three pairs of c/2 but two just get too close:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B2kn3-n4cet5jr6e/S2-c3-aekn4einq5cnr6-kn
bo$3bo$o$4bo$2bo!

[Entity Valkyrie 2]

Is there a SMOSMOSMOS?

[wildmyron]

Is there a SMOSMOSMOS?

IIRC, we came close but no one actually managed to find/create one (on this forum)


@GUYTU6J: Both those SMoSs are fascinating. Good luck with the searches.
