Talk:Original Theory of Dino Fusion/@comment-5222017-20120814043912/@comment-5051663-20120815154524

I also checked my record of 22 fusions, some of which had been reported. All follow the first 2 laws of Dino Fusion. Some of them did not result in the *currently* active dino for the relevant biome, but that's expected when half of the data is older than the introduction of a currently active dino. Also, once it was the Spinosaurus that was easy to get and the Dimetrodon was believed impossible to get.

I think that TV gave us a big clue when they had a bug that fusing two tier N dinos from the same biome resulted in a tier N (not tier N+1) dino. Further, they fixed it without a new code release, but with a config file change.

Does anyone have records of fusing the Lucky Mammoth and/or Love Stegosaurus before they became Tier 1? They, er, didn't have a tier, but you could fuse them with tier 0 dinos. I never did figure out what the difference between that and "they are tier 0 dinos" was. I'm also not sure they even had biomes, which makes for an interesting situation not covered by the first two laws.
