Original Theory of Dino Fusion



Eppi, Click edit and see if you can edit up here.

We need to add the dino picts in the table below. Not sure how. OK, FanofTV has shown how to get the icons.

Go the dino den page. Edit the section with the icons, then go to source.

Find the name of the biome pict and copy the code in the form

picture name

Notice there are two square brackets on each side. Drop the pict and both sets of square brackets into the appropriate cell, Note from oioiaussie: Best to leave the dino den page after you've used it by closing out and not saving, in case you've changed something

The Tier 1 Dinos and their Biome-Gene Markers
In the DinoFusion process, each dino in the two fusion slots passes on its unique genetic marker.

Which dino you get is mostly determined by the following two Laws of DinoFusion.

1. The First Law of DinoFusion: Wait for Eppi Whenever two dinos of the same XXXXX are fused, all the resulting dino(s) must, come from the

XXX Y. X + X + X

where the resulting XXXXX is given by one of the four empirical equations below.

Four Empirical Equations [Resettable at whim, but universal at the present] Complementing the first law, are the following four empirical equations that precisely determine the XXXX of the fused dinosaur! These 4 equations are not considered laws, but may change at any time in the future at the whim of the Fusion Gods. However, we believe they are presently obeyed by all fusions in all three fusion tables. Of the hundreds of reported fusion recipes, only a very small number of reports appear exceptional. We believe they are all ...the result of entry errors such as putting the dino in an adjacent cell by mistake. It is remarkable that these 4 equations so clearly seen in the Tier 0 tables, infact hold for all 3 fusable tiers.

2. The Second Law of DinoFusion: Wait for Eppi

Whenever two dinos of a different XXXXX are fused, all the resulting dino(s) must, come from one of the XX

XXX Y. X + X - - - > XXX or XXX

The Universal Fusion Table

These two laws, when combined with the four empirical equations, produce the following Universal Fusion Table which applies at all tiers and both governs and constrains every fusion you do.

Fusion Cycles and DinoActivation

In contrast to these fixed laws there is the magical and unique process known as DinoActivation. The DinoFusion process comes in cycles or intervals. At the beginning of each new cycle, each dino as marked as Active or Inactive. We will also use the terms In-play or Not in Play. During this cycle you can only obtain Active dinos. You cannot obtain an Inactive dino. New Fusion cycles are often, but not always, started when a new dino is introduced. All Unreleased Dinos and hence all future dinos are considered Inactive, you can't violate Causality. Which dinos are Active and which are Inactive can only be found emperically, say by constantly updating the Fusion Tables. At the beginning of each new cycle, the Fusion Gods must reset or reinitialize the boolean variable which determines the "Active duty status" of each dino. Thus, a primary task for Fusion Table Guardians in the near future will be to determine emperically, then publish, a list maintaiing the Active or Inactive status of each dino.

The following dinos are know to be presently Inactive, and so cannot be obtained from Fusion. Inactive Dinos during this Fusion Cycle: Spino, Proto, etc.

It is this mysterious resetting feature of DinoActivation that leads to the constant barrage of postings all asking essentially the same question, "Does anyone know how to get a Proto?" or "Does anyone know how to get a Spino?"

Although each new DinoActivation reset may appear to be at the whim of the Fusion Gods, it must still follow a few rules. For example, there must always be at least one Active dino for each Biome.

Applications:

a. Predictions: Wait for Eppi

Although these laws seem innocuous, they actually have enormous predictive power. For example, because of the limited number of xxxxxx dinos, we can predict that the only recipes that could lead to the fusion of the new MesoHippus dino must have the form:

xxxxxxxxxxxx
