The first three expansions increase the protected square from 48×48 to 80×80, 112×112 and 144×144. Later resource stages improve resources without adding another land expansion.
Generator output is random. Unlocking an ore makes it possible; it does not guarantee your next block. Island XP comes from eligible skill work done there, not machine output.
