How do you increase the size of your homestead?

Originally posted by Crazy Cranium: With enabled funtion of settlements you can't expand your homestead, because reading new skill scroll does not produce claim papers anymore. Only way is using settlement claim papers, placing then in your homestead claimstake.

That is not fully correct, when playing with "No Collaboration" preset or simply manually configuring it, you can still get unrestricted claim papers and stakes when reading skill scrolls, even with Settlements on.
