It is unclear under what circumstances the contents of this file change.  The monthly assignment of new missions doesn't cause changes here.
Once all these missions (research, harvest, abduction, infiltration, and base creation) have been preformed in a particular zone, the value for that zone in this file is set to zero.

This file is a dynamic list of the chances that the aliens will conduct a mission in a particular zone. There are 12 zones. If a priority of a zone is zero, the zone will only get terror attacks.

offset	zone		priority
0	North America	18
1	Arctic		4
2	Antarctic	4
3	South America	10
4	Europe		16
5	North Africa	12
6	South Africa	8
7	Central Asia	12
8	Southeast Asia	15
9	Siberia		10
0xa	Australia	10
0xb	Pacific (+Rest)	5

Once all these missions (research, harvest, abduction, infiltration, and base creation) have been preformed in a particular zone, the value for that zone in this file is set to zero.
