Talk:Original Theory of Dino Fusion/@comment-5103836-20120812194959/@comment-5116140-20120813023526

Update for Eppidiah,

Yeah I know logically the final form of the First Law of DinoFusion makes no sense. But remember these guys think ponies hatch from dino eggs. Spend a day on the farm will you!

There was a hint a while back on Facebook about the then DinoFusion Bug that in retrospect makes much more sense now. Here is Matt F's FB post from around June 20th.

"Hi Villagers, we're working on a bug in Dino Fusion that causes two dinos of the same TYPE (forest, desert, flying, tundra, etc), you will receive a new dino of the same tier, rather than a better tier. We're working on a fix that we expect to be ready in the next few days.

In the meantime, fusing two dinos of different types WILL give a higher dino when successful, as intended. We recommend making sure the dinos are different before squishing them together.

Thank you to everyone who reported this!"

If we had read that more closely then, I think the new DinoFusion theory might have been hatched a month ago. If you reread his statements thinking like a coder and not a geneticist, you can see he has structured his brief "fusion bug fix" announcement into two paragraphs. One for each of the dinofusion laws.

if (same biome) do this else if (different biome) do something else.

There is also that word etc, that hints of new biomes to come. Life is full of these little hints about how the world works. [You might call it the meta-Life game, what is the real (but often hidden) meaning of the things we see and do.
