Corrosion of Conformity is a Life-like cellular automaton in which cells survive from one generation to the next if they have 1, 2 or 4 neighbours, and are born if they have 3 neighbours.

This rule is very similar to Flock; it has many of the same still lifes and oscillators. It is also similar to Mazectric.

Patterns

Some still lifes in Corrosion of Conformity are dominoes, beehives, lakes, and duoplets.

Oscillators

Some oscillators. First two rows also work in Flock (click above to open LifeViewer)

Spaceships

Many, but not all of the spaceships from Flock are also here, but this one is currently the smallest one in Corrosion of Conformity:

Spaceships of speeds c/2o, c/3o, c/4o, c/5o, c/6o, 2c/5o, c/4d are known.
