Anyone been able to figure out what the culture benefit of Expulsion is

from Sins Forums

It quickly became clear that the income aspect of the Advent Rebel research expulsion was +20% income.  But has anyone been able to figure out exactly what sort of culture boost Expulsion grants when the last enemy ship leaves the planet's gravity well?

 


Also has anyone worked out about how long said buffs last?

Wait nevermind. I'll go in game and see if I can find out myself.

Excellent, thanks for the info.

 

On a side note, how exactly do you get this information; any of the number fields I see when I open files in the gameinfo folder with notepad are just gibberish rather then actual numbers.

I'm assuming they're using a text binner.

I am using the convertData.exe. Each time that the game gets an update, I just throw the lot of the .entity files into a folder and convert them all in one go.

Interesting way to react to updates. I just fire up the game and play... well to each his own I guess ;).
