I wonder if Mats agrees with the 2s I replaced by 3s? Can the Bifurcation pieces really end on those squares with the same type of move as they are allowed to make to the 2s?

I don't have Zillions, and perhaps I should learn how to read ZRF files. But the simplest way still seems to ask Mats! ;-) What was a bit ambiguous, and was also not explicit in Sam's diagrams, was what happens in the presence of the piece Z with a Colliding Bifurcator. Does it create moves to the 4s? Not for Mats' pieces, but you could make stronger versions that could.
