List of common objects by symmetry

This page lists the ranking of each object in each symmetry on Catagolue. Only symmetries by the literal definition of the word are included; Catagolue calls everything a symmetry even if it's something else entirely.

Notes

↑ Blinkers are more common in even orthogonal symmetries because two gliders can collide to form an interchange.
↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 ^2.2 ^2.3 Spaceships aren't actually less common in higher symmetries; they're just less likely to escape.
