Expansions

Original Size
At the beginning of the game, your village's size measures 18x18 squares and contains the following buildings and decorations: The first Storehouse in your village is the usual storehouse that stores 500 of each resource. The added 500 capacity is a bonus that stays with the village, so in total you will have 1,000 storage capacity. If you put all Storage units in Inventory, you will still have 500 capacity for each resource.
 * Magic Rock (9x9 squares)
 * 2 x Palm Trees (1x1 square each)
 * 1 House for Rupert (3x3 squares)
 * 1 Storage (500 + 500 Capacity) (6x6 squares)

The position of your Magic Rock is fixed in the top corner but you can move and rearrange other items.

Expansions
As your Tiny Village develops you will soon need to increase its size to provide space for additional buildings or decorations. Clicking outside of your village, or choosing expansions in the main shop menu, will bring up the expansion screen. This will tell you the cost of the expansion and the build time.

The first six expansions consist of a five or four square wide strip along the edge of your village. From the seventh expansion on they stabilise at three squares wide. Expansions alternate between the bottom right and left sides, thereby maintaining your village's square shape and leaving the Magic Rock at the top. Each expansion after the seventh will also measure 9 squares bigger in total area than the previous one.

Only one expansion can be in progress at any given time. While an expansion is in progress, the expansion screen shows the current hurry cost and gives the option to complete the expansion immediately using crystals.

Trivia

 * HUD_icon_expansionsale40@2x.png late March 2012, there was a 40% discount event on all land expansions, which lasted a short time.


 * HUD_icon_expansionsale40_v2@2x.png June 19 2012 until June 22 2012 at 6 PM EDT there was a 40% discount event on all expansions.
 * On 10 October there was a 30% one day discount of expansion hurry costs.
 * There are many reports of unexpected expansions that do not accord with the above table in that they are receiving an extra square on each side. For example, village sizes have been reported as follows:
 * Expansion 23 = 56 x 59
 * Expansion 30 = 68 x 68
 * Expansion 32 = 71 x 71
 * There are also reports of expansions that are not 3 squares wide on one side, rather some villages are expanding on both sides. Players may wish to consider expanding quicker than planned.
 * There have been many reports of cheaper than expected expansions. Discounts of 25% to 50% have been reported but there does not appear to be a pattern to these discounts.
 * On 23 August 2012, discounts and shorter build times for the 12th expansion onwards were made permanent by way of a notice on Tiny Village's facebook.

Warning Version 1.13
Kindle users that upgraded to version 1.13 experienced the serious "Expansion Never Finishes" problem. To see more information see problem 10 on this page. This problem has reportedly been fixed in version 1.13.1
