Hi Paula,

I decided to arrange my village according to building footprint. What i did was arrange all buildings that are 4x4 in a row, 5x5 in a row, etc...

Here's a quick guide:

1.) The Magic Rock is 9x9, so you can put a row of 4x4 and a row of 5x5 right next to each other and keep a straight line all the way down the village.

2.) After you have that done, you can then place a row of any size building next, it'll keep the straight line as long as all buildings in that row are the same size.

3.) The Dino Den is 6x6, and you can put groups of 4 houses in the same row as those add up to 6x6 as well. Storages are also 6x6.

4.) The Market and most Dino Habitats are 7x7, so those can be in a single row as well.

5.) Most stores are 4x4, and you'll probably have a lot of these, so do as many rows as you need (i have 5).

6.) Resource gatherers are all 5x5, so there's another row (or two) you can make.

All in all, it works pretty well and minimizes wasted space. I only use the bext decorations to fill in areas where i've expanded (though right now i have a ton of starflowers, but you can still see the "footprint layout" i used).
