Send Explorers costs 100 catpower

Question

Is it just me or does sending explorers only cost 100 catpower in the latest build? Or is this because they didn't actually find anyone?

This question is not a duplicate, although it's certainly related to the linked question. This is "Why does exploring say it costs 1000 catpower but only actually costs 100?", the linked question is "Why can't my explorers find new civilizations?" If you don't already know both answers, they're not even similar - and we're assuming anyone who searches for this question doesn't already know the answer, right? — gatherer818, Oct 09 '14 at 18:19

It's because they didn't find anyone. It requires 1000 catpower to send them, but if they fail to find a new tribe, you only lose 100 and keep the other 900.

And for the full list, see here, which will probably be updated when a change is made. – Mathias711 Oct 09 '14 at 09:08
I thought you get refunded 950 if they don't find anyone, not 900... – Schism Oct 09 '14 at 15:02
@Schism It was definitely 900 when I was playing a few days ago. – Powerlord Oct 10 '14 at 16:43
@Powerlord Ah, okay. I only ever saw it mentioned in the 0.3.3.2 patch notes, where it was 950. – Schism Oct 11 '14 at 00:52
