Contains information about which acts and with what priority in respective zones the aliens are going to try. Each of the twelve zones has seven possible acts which sums up to a total of 84 bytes.
Each month two acts (beginner level) are started by aliens and their priority in ACTS.DAT is set to zero. This would give you about five years worth of alien acts.
The acts are:
offset act 0 Research 1 Harvest * 2 Abduction * 3 Infiltration * 4 Base 5 Terror ** 6 Retaliation ***
* These are not tried in some zones as they are not realistic, e.g. abduction in Antarctic.
** The zone for a terror mission is determined separately and these values are not used or adjusted.
*** Retaliation missions are triggered randomly when a UFO is shot down.
The total file might be like this:

A supply mission to an alien base is created on a random chance per day for each alien base.
