Teardrop

Teardrop is a common seed, occasionally also usable as an induction coil, which in 20 generations evolves into the formation of two beehives seen below. Compare this with butterfly, where the beehives appear five cells further apart.

In other rules

In HighLife, the teardrop also evolves into beehives, but they are spaced a bit closer, like half of a honey farm.

gollark: Backward compatibility requires that some octachoron make it START that way.
gollark: But why implement it that way in the first place?
gollark: No
gollark: The index doesn't have to match the position in list naturally.
gollark: Even better: strings are a HashMap<f64, f64>.
