Abstract: We prove an entropy formula for certain expansive actions of a countable discrete residually finite group $Gamma$ by automorphisms of compact abelian groups in terms of Fuglede-Kadison determinants. This extends an earlier result proved by the first author under somewhat more restrictive conditions. The main tools for this generalization are a representation of the $Gamma$-action by means of a `fundamental homoclinic point', and the description of entropy in terms of the renormalized logarithmic growth-rate of the set of $Gamm{a}_n$-fixed points, where $(Gamm{a}_n,nge1)$ is a decreasing sequence of finite index normal subgroups of $Gamma$ with trivial intersection.
