Tables taken from Infolist v3.1 created by Eden Tan.

== Torpedo/Mine Ratios ==
<pre>
Cost/100 mines MC/100 Min/100 (of each mineral)
-------------- ------ -------
Mark 1 Photon 100.00 100.00
Proton Torpedo 50.00 25.00
Mark 2 Photon 55.56 11.11
Gamma Bomb 62.50 6.25
Mark 3 Photon 48.00 4.00
Mark 4 Photon 36.11 2.78
Mark 5 Photon 63.27 2.04
Mark 6 Photon 54.69 1.56
Mark 7 Photon 44.44 1.23
Mark 8 Photon 54.00 1.00

Best value/MC : Mark 4 torps
Best value/Min : Mark 8 torps

Mines Laid = # torps * (torp position)^2
Mines Swept = # beams * (beam position)^2 * minesweeprate
Mine Field Radius = sqrt(# mines)

NOTE: The formula for laying/sweeping mines is based on the POSITION of the
type of torp, not the actual tech of the torp - e.g. Mark 7 (tech 8, pos 9)
gives 9^2 = 81 mines, not 8^2 = 64 mines

Defenses

2011-06-05T05:44:39Z

Homey:

Table taken from Infolist v3.1 created by Eden Tan.

== Planetary/Base Defenses ==
<pre>
Defense Posts for n Fighters: n*(n-1) + 1
Defense Posts for n Beamtech: 2*n*(n-1) + 1
Defense Posts for n Beams : 3*n*(n-1) + 1

Ex: For 5 fighters, 5*4+1 = 21 defense posts (see table below)

NOTE: Base defense is taken into account ONLY when determining the # of beams
It does NOT affect the # of fighters or the beam tech level.

Defense : 1 3 5 7 13 19 21 25 31 37 41 43 57 61 73 85 91
Fighters: 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 6 7 8 8 9 9 10

</pre>

== Ground Attack/Defense ==
<pre>
For each defense post on a planet, your ground defense goes up by .05 x
ground defense # against ground attacks. For each 20 defense posts, the
ratio changes by the ground defense # exactly.

Example with Lizards 30:1 ground attack against Birds 2:1 ground defense:

Def Ratio Ratio Formula: (att #):((def #)*(DP*.05 + 1))
--- ------
0 15:1 1 lizard colonist will kill 15 enemy colonists
10 10:1 eg (30:(2*(10*.05 + 1)) = (30:3) = (10:1)
20 7.5:1 (30:(2*(20*.05 + 1)) = (30:4) = (7.5:1)
30 6:1 (30:(2*(30*.05 + 1)) = (30:5) = (6:1)
40 5:1
60 3.75:1
80 3:1
100 2.5:1

Taxes, Happiness, and Population Growth

2011-06-05T05:42:58Z

Tables taken from Infolist v3.1 created by Eden Tan.

== Growth Rate Info ==
<pre>
Colonists growth % = 5*sin(temp*pi/100)/(1 + tax_rate/5)
= 0 if 1) temperature arctic/desert (<15 or > 84)
2) happiness <70 (unhappy or worse)
or 3) max population would be exceeded
Natives growth % = 4*sin(temp*pi/100)/(1 + tax_rate/5)
= 0 if 1) happiness ><70 (unhappy or worse)
or 2) max population would be exceeded
</pre>

== Populations Limit Info ==
<pre>
Colonists:
a) If climate limits population and climate death rate (CDR) is 0%:
max pop = 10,000,000*sin(temp*pi/100) colonists (won't die if exceeded)
b) If climate limits population and CDR is not 0%:
1) planet is desert,
max pop = [20100 - CDR - (200*temp)]*100/CDR colonists (will die)
2) planet is arctic,
max pop = [20100 - CDR - 200*(99-temp)]*100/CDR colonists (will die)
3) all other temps = 10,000,000*sin(temp*pi/100) colonists (won't die)
NOTE: Planets always support at least 100 colonists - round all 0's to
100. Fascists and Robots can support at least 6000 colonists on
desert planets, and Rebels can support at least 20000 colonists
on arctic planets - more if the formula allows or overpopulation
eats supplies (see below). Desert/Arctic formulas courtesy of
Timo Kreike.
c) If overpopulation eats supplies and CDR is not 0% on arctic/desert planets:
max pop = (max pop from b) + 1000*INT([# supplies on planet - 1]/40)

supplies needed 21-60 61-100 101-140 141-180 181-220
# extra colonists +1000 +2000 +3000 +4000 +5000
i.e., for every 40 supply units greater than 21, you can support
another 1000 colonists
NOTE: Formula courtesy of Timo Kreike.
d) If climate does not limit population:
max pop = 10,000,000 colonists -- CDR does nothing (won't die)

Natives:
Max native population = 15,159,000*sin(temp*pi/100) natives
</pre>

== Population Dying Info ==
<pre>
(if climate limits population and CDR is not 0%)

# colonists dying = ([# colonists living] - [max pop])*CDR
where max pop is based on Population Limit Info
NOTE: # is rounded to the nearest 100 colonists, so 10 colonists means
100 colonists die.

# colonists eaten by amorphous = (91 - [native happiness])*100

NOTE: 1) Formula is for native happiness <= 86.
2) A minimum of 500 colonists are always eaten.
</pre>

== Tax Info ==
<pre>
MC received from natives:
(native pop)*(tax rate setting)*(native gov tax factor)*(.001)
NOTE: 1) you must have 100 colonists for every MC collected
2) for Insectiods, see Native Race Advantages section

MC received from colonists:
(colonist pop)*(tax rate setting)*(.001)
</pre>

== Happiness Info ==
<pre>
Colonists change = trunc(10 - sqrt(# colonists/1,000,000) - abs(temp - 50)/33
- (# mine + # fact)/300 - tax_rate*.8)
Natives change = trunc(5 + native_gov/2 - sqrt(# natives/1,000,000)
- (# mine + # fact)/200 - tax_rate*.85)
Rebel Ground Attack change = -50

NOTE: native_gov goes from 1(anarchy)-9(unity): see table below
Hiss effect is +(hiss value)*(# ships hissing)
</pre>

== Happiness Categories ==
<pre>
Happiness Attitude
---------- ------------
90-100 happy
70-89 calm
50-69 unhappy
40-49 very angry
20-39 rioting
(-300)-20 fighting
</pre>

== Native Government Tax Factors ==
<pre>
Government Factor
----------------------
Anarchy 20%
Pre-Tribal 40%
Early-Tribal 60%
Tribal 80%
Feudal 100%
Monarchy 120%
Representative 140%
Participatory 160%
Unity 180%

Tables taken from Infolist v3.1 created by Eden Tan.

== Normal Movement Formula ==
<pre>
Normal_x = rnd(warp^2/(way_x^2 + way_y^2) * way_x) - .5
Normal_y = rnd(warp^2/(way_x^2 + way_y^2) * way_y) - .5

NOTE: These formulas are correct for approximately 90% of movements
</pre>

== Hyperjump Formula ==
<pre>
final_x = ERND(x+350*dx/ERND(sqrt(dx^2+dy^2)))
final_y = ERND(y+350*dy/ERND(sqrt(dx^2+dy^2)))

NOTE: ERND() is a rounding function which rounds normally to the nearest
integer, except when the the number to be rounded ends in exactly 0.5.
Then, it rounds to the nearest even number, e.g. 8.5 rounds to 8 and
9.5 rounds to 10. The innermost ERND() can be just a simple RND()
(round to nearest integer) since the square root of an integer will
never end in 0.5. Formula courtesy of Andrew Sterian.

Combat Order

2011-06-05T05:17:28Z

Homey:

===Cloak Intercept===

Ships with a [[Cloaking Device]], the mission [[Intercept]], and [[Primary Enemy]] set appropriately will always attack first (presumably in order of ship ID or [[Friendly Codes|friendly code]]), and they will specifically attack the target they are set to intercept. Once they have intercepted (and presumably destroyed) their target, they will then be decloaked and participate in the main combat order.

===Main combat order===
The following table is sorted by combat order.
Ships with the higher combat order will engage from the left side.

* Mission: Kill
* [[Primary Enemy]]: Enemy
* all other ships, which get attacked

===2nd combat order===
(if both ships have the same main combat order)

[[Friendly Codes]] consisting of numbers, lower means earlier attack
If there is a letter, the whole [[Friendly Codes|friendly code]] is counted as 1000.

===3rd combat order===
(if both ships have the same main/secondary combat order)

Combat order sorted by ship [[ID]]s. Ships with a lower ship [[ID]] attack earlier.

Adapted from Infolist v3.1 created by Eden Tan.

== Planetary ==
<pre>
att - attack all enemy ships in orbit with fuel (*)
nuk - attack all enemy ships in orbit with or without fuel (*)
bum - beam up MC to all ships in orbit, including enemy ships - MC is split
con - have host send a listing of the current host configuration
dmp - dump all parts in starbase storage bins if a SB orbits the planet. All
parts will be converted to minerals and dumped onto the planet
surface. Fighters and torpedoes are not dumped.

Notes:
*att/nuk will not work on Rebels and Fascists if that host config is enabled.
*att/nuk will not work on an SSD with mission set to Imperial Assault.
</pre>

== Ship ==
=== Hyperjump-capable Probes ===
<pre>
hyp - ships capable of hyperspace will hyperspace about 350 ly in a
direction if there is enough fuel, a waypoint farther than 20 ly is
set, and a nonzero warp is set **** YOU CANNOT TOW SHIPS ****
</pre>

=== Alchemy Ships ===
<pre>
ald - change supplies into duranium only
alm - change supplies into molybdenum only
alt - change supplies into tritanium only
nal - do not convert supplies/minerals into minerals/fuel
</pre>

=== Glory Device Ships ===
<pre>
pop - explode the ship after moving if they have fuel
trg - explode the ship after moving if a cloaked ship is detected and they have fuel
</pre>

=== Ships with Torpedo Launchers ===
<pre>
mdh - mine drop half your torpedoes
mdq - mine drop one quarter of your torpedoes
md# - mine drop (# * 10) torpedoes if you have them (0 corresponds to 10)
miN - mine in identity N, to lay mines in other races names
mkt - build torpedoes if correct cargo and money are on board
msc - scoop up your mine fields and convert them back into torpedoes
ntp - do not fire torpedos in battle
</pre>

=== Ships with Fighter Bays ===
<pre>
lfm - load minerals and money to build fighters (Robots, Rebels, Colonies only)
ntp - do not launch fighters in battle
</pre>

=== Transfers ===
<pre>
bdm - beam down MC to a planet, regardless of who owns it
btf - beam transfer fighters to all enemy carriers at the same location
btm - beam transfer MC to all enemy ships at the same location
btt - beam transfer torpedoes to all enemy ships at the same location with the same torp tech
</pre>

=== Misc ===
<pre>
cln - clone ship at a planet with a SB. SB tech levels must be higher than
the ship being cloned. Cost is 200% the MC for building the ship,
and will cancel normal ship building of the SB in most cases. The
money and minerals are beamed directly from the planet, and no parts
on the SB are used. The Privateers and Crystals cannot clone.
Ships cannot be cloned if the race can already build them.
gsN - give ship to race N, where N is 1=Fed, 2=Liz, ... 9=Bots, a=Reb, b=Col
An enemy ship of race N must be at the same location with colonists on board.

Notes:
*Fuel usage formula is approximate with about a +/-5KT error
*The units are per 1/100,000 of a KT per LY, i.e. 100 corresponds to .001 KT-fuel/KT-mass/LY
*A 200 KT ship going 20 LY at Warp 8 with Nova Drive 5 engines would take about 15 KT of fuel (.0036641*200*20)

== VGA Planets Wiki ==

This wiki is intended to serve as a repository for information about the game '''VGA Planets''', by Tim Wisseman: a turn-based strategy game designed to be played by up to 11 players. VGA Planets (or VGAP, or Planets) was released in 1992 as a BBS "door game", and is now played over the Internet via email or via Web interface.

This wiki is largely intended to serve as a supplement for [http://vgaplanets.nu VGA Planets Nu], but should more or less apply to all VGA Planets 3 implementations.

== VGA Planets Wiki ==

This wiki is intended to serve as a repository for information about the game '''VGA Planets''', by Tim Wisseman: a turn-based strategy game designed to be played by up to 11 players. VGA Planets (or VGAP, or Planets) was released in 1992 as a BBS "door game", and is now played over the Internet via email or via Web interface.

This wiki is largely intended to serve as a supplement for [http://vgaplanets.nu VGA Planets Nu], but should more or less apply to all VGA Planets 3 implementations.
