Just so that you know, I just added another layer of supergrids to the map; in other words, the map is 7x7 supergrids now.
There are no minimaps for the new grids yet. They'll be generated incrementally starting in about 10 hours from now. I don't know how long it will take, but it wouldn't surprise me if it takes a day or two; the minimap generator really needs some sweet optimization.
Area-wise, this addition means that the map has about doubled in size.
EDIT: I should mention, too, that wilderness spawns won't happen in the new grids. At least not yet.

Re: Map Expansion
AWESOME. Thanks. I no longer feel cramped by that wall up north.
What does this mean for caves? I've found several caves near the northern border that has invisible walls in them as well. Are they extended too?

Re: Map Expansion
and so i begin my trek out into the wilderness in search of a gold mine...
can we make maps of the outer grids even though the minimaps are not there?
also, found first cocks in the new grids! woot
EDIT: to save space...
I found the new invisible wall! please make it bigger!
