What is ADP?

ADP (Automatic Development of Planets) is a utility for Tim Wisseman's VGA-Planets. It works both with VGA-Planets for DOS Version 3.0 (also known as DOSPLAN) and VGA-Planets for Windows 3.5 (also known as WINPLAN). Support for the future version of VGA-Planets 4.0 (and its betas) are not possible, as the data format is completely different.

The utility is structured into several - so called - "tasks". One of each might have its own functions so you could call ADP a collection of utilities in just one program. Up to now these tasks exist (click on one of them to get more information):

• Base Supporting
• Alchemy
• Randomize Friendly Codes
• Autobuild Factories/Mines/Defence Posts

You do not have to use all of these tasks at once. You might enable or disable them at any time during game.

Another helping-hand of ADP are its Counselors which inform you about the current status of your Empire. Tips, what could make you weak, are provided.
Some notes what it could do for you:

• Detection of little colonists on a planet
• Climate Analysis
• Happyness Checks
• Completely in HTML-Format, so you can print it easily

Some other highlights of ADP:

• Host999 compliant
• Full Windows 9x/NT 32-bit program, written in Delphi
• One installation can serve more than 65.000 (!) games
• Can import your games you play in WINPLAN
• Almost 1 1/2 years BETA-Test are behind ADP!
