While my original most intensively studied seed "The Wild" hit capacity limits just short of 250,000 iterations, a fourth, uninspiringly numbered p140353 for reasons not worth trying to explain, just reached that landmark, so I've created a new directory of compressed rotated renderings of those evolved patterns.

I've pushed on with p140353 because it is the first to clearly promise interaction between ship rakes at an oblique angle. The lower quadrant in the rendering shows rakes with period 768 cells from deltified puffers to the left on a collision course with period 448 rakes from a naked Delta to the right. However the interaction has been recently delayed by a single fencing track between them, with the overloading and subsequent erosion of the fence only just starting to settle to period 768 as the complete pattern reached 250,000 iterations. While it looks likely that p140353 will get to 270,000 before hitting capacity limits, I'm leaving that a while to catch up with a few others I've left pending waiting time on the dedicated machine to reach my totally arbitrary rendering milestones.

For the record:

• almost 300 seeds have been run to 100,000
• nearly 70 of them run on to or beyond 150,000
• I'm diverting a trickle of time to Generations 345/2/4 which is almost over the top
• having long given up hope I found a ship moving at 45° during a 250+th run to 100,000
