@aditsu Hint: It's a number, found through manual binary search

then nevermind

The largest still life with a natural occurrence recorded by the catagolue census: catagolue.appspot.com/object/xs45_69e0u1u0e96zwcq3ob6z047065/…

It's been dubbed "Cthulhu"

@SuperJedi224 Oh dear, have I infected you with knowledge of the Catagolue?

that sounds like some weird cult

It's a pattern census for various 2D cellular automata, but primarily GoL

I see

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ 1. what cult? -> 2. ohh, it's a typo -> 3. wait, it's not

11:32 PM

@LegionMammal978 Which rule is that?

^^^ Contribution graph for B3/S01367

quartata

That's a weird rule

Currently has 2.82 trillion objects recorded

@aditsu ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Found anything interesting in it?

@LegionMammal978 This one's fairly interesting

I have a newfound respect for b3s01367

@SuperJedi224 I just make'd it, works fine for me

But yeah, I brought the rule from the bottom of the list to the top of the list

I decided recently to scale up my 4-bit minecraft redstone adder from a while ago to a 6-bit version.

Of course there are still vastly larger ones out there.

@SuperJedi224 It's just a matter of tiling on more full adders

Pretty much.

b45s12 has 1938 known 9-bit still lifes, the most common so far being this one -> catagolue.appspot.com/object/xs9_u1zf/b45s12

Of course, it's also completely free of any spaceships...

@PhiNotPi that looks like a really cool challenge. Make sure to add the test-battery tag.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ ?

@LegionMammal978 what about 2016? :/

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ?

Mathematica probably has a "domain appraisal" builtin.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ So nope
