I got life and tried this pattern mentioned in "Sweet Herb Pattern"

> --#

and it created 5 gliders, 8 squares, for 3*1s, two patterns that can easily become squares, three

and one


----#
--#--#

not bad for 5 starting herbs. Are there any more patterns like this that are potentially more useful?

also glider looks something like this:
(a)

It's like this :

It's the cheapest way in holy water to create a lot of bushes, in most cases I think. The PC must himself try to stabilize the bushes in the best way.

neat site. Although I had not seen it before

Here is a new pattern entitled "Rabbits"

It does not stabilize for over 17,200 generations and creates a product too large and too complex to describe.

Another useful pattern that requires only 5 plants is:
#####


which will develope into:
###
###
###


which will become:
..#..
.#.#.
#...#
.#.#.
..#..


and the next generation looks like:
..#..
.###.
##.##
.###.
..#..


if you now pick the outmost bushes like this:
###
#.#
###


...the next generation will get you back to:
..#..
.#.#.
#...#
.#.#.
..#..


if you don't pick those bushes, you can wait for two generations and get:
...#...
..###..
.#.#.#.
###.###
.#.#.#.
..###..

You are probably referring to gardening, which used by applying the skill

 Well, here is another form.

.......
.#####.
.#...#.
.......

which in 32 generations becomes a pulsar. This
is an oscillator with these three steps.

     1.               2.                3.

............... ................. ...............
...###...###... .....#.....#..... ...##.....##...
............... .....#.....#..... ....##...##....
.#....#.#....#. .....##...##..... .#..#.#.#.#..#.
.#....#.#....#. ................. .###.##.##.###.
.#....#.#....#. .###..##.##..###. ..#.#.#.#.#.#..
...###...###... ...#.#.#.#.#.#... ...###...###...
............... .....##...##..... ...............
...###...###... ................. ...###...###...
.#....#.#....#. .....##...##..... ..#.#.#.#.#.#..
.#....#.#....#. ...#.#.#.#.#.#... .###.##.##.###.
.#....#.#....#. .###..##.##..###. .#..#.#.#.#..#.
............... ................. ....##...##....
...###...###... .....##...##..... ...##.....##...
............... .....#.....#..... ...............
............... .....#.....#..... ...............
............... ................. ...............

on the 33rd generation, you can pick things so
that you have 8 herb squares covering 6/7 herb
types with 4 herbs on each type except one which
is repeated and get 8 herbs. This herb is placed 5 
rows above the original formation that you created 
with gardening or potions of holy water.


33rd generation:

.................
.....#.....#.....
.....#.....#.....
.....##...##.....
.................
.###..##.##..###.
...#.#.#.#.#.#...
.....##...##.....
.................
.....##...##.....
...#.#.#.#.#.#...
.###..##.##..###.
.................
.....##...##.....
.....#.....#.....
.....#.....#.....
.................

Pick the middle clean and the end off every
L and you get:

.................
.................
.....#.....#.....
.....##...##.....
.................
..##.........##..
...#.........#...
.................
.................
.................
...#.........#...
..##.........##..
.................
.....##...##.....
.....#.....#.....
.................
.................


which obviously becomes:


.................
.................
.....##...##.....
.....##...##.....
.................
..##.........##..
..##.........##..
.................
.................
.................
..##.........##..
..##.........##..
.................
.....##...##.....
.....##...##.....
.................
.................

in the 34th generation.

Patience? Life pattern simulation programs are quite common. Even my mother wrote one for practice. (she's in her 50's now).

A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.
An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel.
A realist sees a train.
And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks.

I'm talking about practical life patterns in ADOM :)

And as well, this is the first place (ADOM aside) I've heard of such program in my 19 years of living.
