Seems like most default buildings use 400.
I've seen some use 40 as well.

I have no idea what those numbers mean and what it does.

Turns out my method was only halfway there. I've spoken to Redphoenix about it who could tell me it's actually a vector displacement baked into the vertex colors.
He's investigating this further. This means the video I made is obsolete, sadly.

If Giants could help us modders by sharing exactly what's required for all kinds of shaders, this guesswork would not have happened.. :) Fingers crossed, devs at Giants can pour some of their much needed information and knowledge about these things on us soon!

^^This. I know they are busy, but modders are spending thousands of collective hours to solve a problem that Giants could answer in one white paper.
