Right now the known conduits are a few glider reflectors/duplicators, converters between hives and gliders (both ways) and (treating hives as the equivalent of Herschels) the following conduits: F41 and T36 (T for turn, since the main object used is symmetric. I still use forward because generally the conduits cant take in an output from the 'wrong' side). F41 and T36 both have many forms due to needing something to suppress a side reaction at the entry (which can be accomplished many ways) but there's no general form that has asserted itself as the most convenient yet.
...I don't know if that information above need to be posted. The main point of this post is to show off some extra additions to the conduits list, starting with the giant F124:
Code: Select all
x = 29, y = 27, rule = B2ce3ai_S23

There's also a splitter conduit (T123/T104). I've found only one conduit that can take the gen 104 output, and it has the unfortunate problem that I've only been able to connect it to another conduit (it's an F56, not sure what to count its inputs as though) which I've only been able to connect to itself. I attached those conduits as well as a T36 to the gen 123 output to demonstrate its splitting ability:
Code: Select all

I'm sure this can be resolved, but even if it can't the gen 123 output is still usable.
EDIT: Here's an F49, a B160 that currently can only feed into the F49, and a hive->glider that I'm posting just because it looks rather odd:

Note that I generally don't count hives as actually having become an output yet if they are going to interact with the already-existing catalysts in the next generation.
FINAL EDIT: I found a 90 degree edge reflector with repeat time of 50 ticks. It can also be upgraded to a duplicator, which increases repeat time to 76 ticks. Though it's not exactly a highway robber yet, it's much better than the previous 180 degree reflector:
