There are a few combination in Castleville that can boost your coin production amount and resource collection times. Below is a complete list and tips on how you can optimize these combination.
Speed Boosts
These combinations will boost the time it takes for your buildings and resources to mature faster. Note that the buildings have to be placed to each other throughout to receive the boost. What the placement boost does is to speed up the time that the countdown timer moves.
Farm Plot and Water Resources
Water resources can boost your farming time frame by 5%. This is not a lot for your 5 minute grapes. However, the amount does add up for the higher level crops such as wheat that takes over 1 hour to complete. You need to place your farm plots within 2 or 3 squares of the water resources such as pond, river, and mote. Those plots will become water filled that grows 5% faster.
It should be noted that if you stack the rivers or moat together and enclose the farm plot with river. You can get the stack effect. By fully enclosing a farmed plot with moat. You can achieve a maximum of 50% timer reduction by surrounding your specific farm plot with rivers.
The water resources available now include river, moat, wishing well, and various fountains and water pumps.
Lumber Camp and Trees
Place your lumber camp around many trees to boost the collection maturity time frame up to 50% off. You need to place the lumber camp next to multiple trees in order to obtain the best maximum bonus. The types of trees do not matter.
Mining Camp and Stones
Place your mining camp around many trees to boost the collection maturity time frame up to 50% off. You need to place the mining camp next to multiple stones in order to obtain the best maximum bonus. The types of stones do not matter.
Animals and Large Troughs
By placing your animals next to the large trough that you can buy via reputation points. You can have a speed bonus of 10% in Castleville. However, this bonus is not stackable, meaning that only one large trough will count toward tending your animals. Also make sure to fence your animal in with trough so that they do not wander around.
Crafting Buildings and Roads
Place roads in your kingdom and craft buildings on top of them, your craft buildings receive a 10% speed boost to crafting. Always make sure that you cover your kingdom with roads. This building placement will make your Castleville Workshop faster and Studio faster.

Couple edit notes on “Placement Boosts to Speed Up Maturity Time and Coins in Castleville” page.
Lumber Camp and Trees: “The types of stones do not matter.” should be trees
Farm Plot and Water Resources: “You can achieve a maximum of 40%” 50% is obtainable
“Water resources can boost your farming time frame by 10%” it’s 5%/water(well too I just found out)even the pond in unexplored can give it’s 5% to nearby crops
thanks for pointing out the errors and liking my post! it has been corrected and some more information had been added.
Can you add information regarding the boosts that animal get for each time they are groomed? It might be an added column on your animal growth page… I hope it’s a percentage of the total growth time, not a percentage of the time remaining!
That would also be helpful for buildings…
Thanks for all the information you have posted here, and may you have a Happy New Year!
Hi,
first of all: nice complete guide!
A small contribution:
you can also speed up crops with the pump. It is cheap (5 reputation points and doesnt take a lot of space.
Only disadvantage is that it is locked until a certain level. (I don’t know which one)
Level 22 for small pump
Level 32 for large pump
You can use the small pumps found in the marktplace for 5 reputation to get 50% percent faster yield for your crops using less space than ponds, rivers, and moats. Each pump adds 5% cummulative percentage point boosts, so each crop square must be touched by 8 pumps. I line up five crops, line up ten pumps on each side, and two on each end, then form another row. I can turn around two sets of cotton and wheat a day, while growing several rounds of other crops as well. I can start strawberries at 6 pm and have them done by noon the next day. It’s worth it to be able to have quests done faster in far less space.
That’s right, but you have to be level 22 or above to buy water pump (unless you are a crown user).
Best method for players lower than 22, is this
Is there a placement that assists with the quarry?
I have a hard time with the purifying talisman working on animals and I would like to know the best way to get them. It seems there are a lot of things to make them and the more powerful tree wand.
