more space

ive noticed a lot of people wanting more space and suggesting separate islands to capture.
so how about this .
a new building to reclaim land from the sea around the home islands.
we all have mines and mines produce spoil as well as ore so a settler collecting spoil and
tipping into sea to make the island bigger.
the amount of spoil could be a small percentage of the amount of the ore in the mines
and the area to be built should take an amount of spoil to make a new square of land.

so my thoughts are 5 percent spoil from a mine and to make a new square needs maybe 2000 units of spoil.
this could be done in just a few places around the home island not everywhere.

as well as giving more space it would give players something new to aim for

well articulated idea, we were discussing a similar idea in guild. It was also suggested that you could use adventures by adding additional quests/targets to steal resource from adventure island/map for additional land reclamation on home island.
