It looks like well-spaced constellations (no pseudo still lifes) that fit inside 8x8 will probably offer enough variety to produce the LWSS seeds we need. Here's one that works for the two closely-spaced LWSSes at the top of the space rake:
Code: Select all
x = 33, y = 17, rule = B3/S23
31bo$32bo$30b3o3$30b2o$29bobo$25b2o3bo$25b2o2$28b2o$28bobo$29b2o$o2bo$
4bo$o3bo$b4o!EDIT: Aha, this one should be good enough to build the whole seed. See if you can put five of these seed+gliders on the right output lanes, and then move the gliders backward and forward (e.g., select in Golly and hit Shift+S to move by say "-10 -10", or select an area around the glider and hit Ctrl+Space) until all five LWSSes show up in the right places.
Code: Select all
x = 12, y = 13, rule = LifeHistory
.A$2.A$3A3$8.A$7.A.A$7.A.A$8.A2$6.A3.2A$5.A.A2.2A$5.2A!Once you have a 5G space-rake seed, turning it into a 1G seed is a separate problem, so let's deal with that later.
EDIT2: Oops, you need the activation glider, too, so that will be a 6G seed. Here are the LWSS flotillas for the forerake and backrake versions:
Code: Select all
x = 92, y = 89, rule = LifeHistory
