Trans-carrier tie snake is a 12-cell still life.

Construction

This still life is known to be constructible with 5 gliders.[1] Some known alternate syntheses can be found in Mark Niemiec's database.[2]

A 5-glider synthesis of this still life was found by Goldtiger997 in March 2021, making this the last 12-bit still life to be improved from 8 gliders.[3][4]
