Enclosure Expansions

These are a little tricky, so they get their own page. "What's the big idea?" you might think. "You expand, you get more space!" Well, yes, but how much space you get is decided by how you expand.

Here's the rule: you get 8 spaces for each wall that connects.

Here's an illustration: you start with a small enclosure (12 spaces). Add an expansion in an L shape: now you've got 20 spaces.

Now add one more, to make a square that looks exactly like a medium enclosure. You're touching two walls; you get 20 + (8 * 2) = 36 spaces, exactly the same as a medium enclosure.

What if you don't make a square though? What if you put that second expansion elsewhere, to make this T shape? Now you get 20 + (1 * 8) = only 28 spaces in your enclosure, even though it's still technically exactly the same thing - a small plus two expansions. Try it!

Note that this means if you make a donut shape and then fill in the hole in the middle with one last expansion, that hole will get you 32 whole spaces. Yep!

And this is just lunacy, here:

But, I mean, I do what I want and so can you.
