Construction Simulator 4: A Beginner's Guide to Mastering Construction
Construction Simulator 4, seven years in the making, delivers a stunning Canadian-inspired landscape, Pinewood Bay, and a wealth of new features. With over 30 new fully-licensed vehicles from CASE, Liebherr, MAN, and more – including the highly anticipated concrete pump – and a cooperative multiplayer mode, it's a significant upgrade. Best of all, a free "Lite" version lets you try before you buy the full game for just $5.
This guide offers essential tips and tricks to help you build a thriving construction empire.
Gain an Early Advantage
Start strong by adjusting the game settings. Extend the economic cycle to 90 minutes for more time between financial reports, easing planning and recovery from setbacks. Disable traffic rules to avoid fines, and consider Arcade Mode for simplified driving controls.
Master the Fundamentals
Don't skip the tutorial! The in-game guide, Hape, thoroughly explains all game mechanics, from vehicle operation to managing your company's materials, machinery purchases, and waypoints.
Tackle the Jobs
After the tutorial, use the job system (found in the company menu) to guide your progress. Campaign missions provide the main storyline, while optional "General Contracts" offer extra cash and experience to accelerate your growth between missions.
Level Up Your Business
Job requirements specify necessary vehicles and machinery ranks. Use this information to set goals, focusing on acquiring the equipment needed for upcoming missions. Earn experience points through General Contracts to unlock new vehicles and ranks. The core gameplay loop is simple: complete campaign missions and fill in the gaps with General Contracts.
