It works on any stabilization of the p44 engine, as well as any even period given you can delay the pentadecathlon long enough. Probably

With the lowest population "best" stabilization:

A p103 partial that feels oh-so-close to a completion: the problem is that the pair of B's leave behind blocks (top left) but in a delayed fashion. There's a fishhook placement that shifts the block to an edgier position, but it's 1 cell too close to fit in an eater (top right). I've found a few other ways to prevent that block from forming (bottom left), but so far all of them leave behind some inaccessible junk which destroys the catalysts later.

The tubs just deal with a beehive, could probably be replaced or welded if it helped.

These were all found with the new periodic CatForce. Check out mvr's GitHub repo--it now works with non p2-stuff!

note that the jam interacts twice, 8 generations apart, so the replacement would have to be p2.

These were all found with the new periodic CatForce. Check out mvr's GitHub repo--it now works with non p2-stuff!

A few mechanisms that I found where I can't seem to find the right sparkers to get them to work:

You can get rid of one pair of sparkers:

x = 48, y = 34, rule = LifeHistory

Here's a surprising reduction to SKOP92 from 49 cells (21P4 to twin-bees shuttle) to just 44 cells (Mold on modified 4-block twin-bees shuttle):

Code: Select all

x = 34, y = 18, rule = B3/S23

I cannot find "SKOP92" - please post - tyvm

I think this is the previously smallest known p92 oscillator:

Code: Select all

x = 39, y = 14, rule = B3/S23

Thank You !

O. K. - so SKO means "Smallest Known Oscillator" - and P92 means "with Period 92"

SKOP92 = Smallest Known Oscillator with Period 92

Piece of Cake !

Interesting alternate stabilization for the p44/p50 mechanism (top):

x = 42, y = 33, rule = B3/S23
