I started with plane group packings of heptagons. The heptagons are not precisely regular as I used a simple construction method. That is I placed points on a unit circle with the angle difference of 2*pi/7.
For every space group 100 experiments were performed with random initial configurations. The way the algorithm works now is that it doesn’t need feasible initial configuration.
The best know packing of heptagons is 0.892690686126509 which is also believed to be optimal. Same double lattice packing as withe pentagons. https://blogs.ams.org/visualinsight/2014/11/15/packing-regular-heptagons/
