ACTS.DAT (TFTD)

TFTD's ACTS.DAT file is somewhat different to that in UFO.
The acts are:
offset act 0 Alien Probe Mission 1 Alien Interdiction * 2 Alien Resource Raid * 3 Alien Infiltration * 4 Alien Colony Expansion 5 Alien Surface Attacks ** 6 Floating Base Attack **
* These are not tried in some zones as they are not realistic, e.g. infiltration in Antarctic.
** Colony Supply Missions, Alien Surface Attacks and Floating Base Attack are generated separately, rather than through ZONAL.DAT and ACTS.DAT. These values are normally unused (Supply doesn't even have one).
At the beginning of a new game, ACTS.DAT looks like this (in hexadecimal):
