Proposal To Simplify Fusion Recipes: Organize by the Dino Obtained

It seems the number of dinos is growing by one almost every week lately. If the number of dinos is N, the number of recipes is at least N*N, or even 9N*N if we distinguish Toddlers, Teens and Adults. The fusion tables with 9N*N entries are fast becoming too complicated to use.

The smallest of the above numbers is N and that gives a clue to the simplest way to present the results. When villagers select dinosaurs to fuse, they usually are hoping for a particular outcome - like today all I want is the new flying Ingridia. There are only N dinos. So the simplest way to present the fusion data is to collect all recipes that give the same dino. This approach also easily updates since the latest entries can be date stamped and replace old archaic results.

Example of how the simplified fusion results might appear.

Please record here pairings that give an ingridia. Be sure to include the date.

July 22nd by TinyRobinEgg      Toddler Dime + Adult Dime --> Ingridia

July 22nd by Bexcox               Toddler Andrews + Toddler Andrews--> Ingridia

July 22nd by xydasaur              Toddler Andrews(4) + Toddler Andrews(5)--> Ingridia July 21st by Elk550:                Toddler Dime + Toddler Dime --> Ingridia See how Elk appears at the bottom since his was the first report I saw that gave the ingridia. This is a much simpler way to present fusion data, and that self corrects if the latest results are appended at the top. Early recipes (that TinyCO has changed) simply disappear at the bottom. To record fusion results, villagers simply select the dino they got, and then enter the recipe that gave that result. There will be no need to reorganize tables every time a new dino comes out. It will also be the most useful presentation for villagers who want a particular dino from the fusion center, since we almost always fuse with the hope of getting a particular cherished dino. Hopefully the admins can discuss this simplification for presenting the fusion results. ID: TinyRobinEgg
