Construction Simulator 4: A Seven-Year Wait Worth Celebrating

Seven years after its predecessor, Construction Simulator 4 arrives, bringing players to the breathtaking Pinewood Bay, inspired by Canada's stunning landscapes. This installment significantly expands on its predecessors, boasting over 30 new fully licensed vehicles from renowned manufacturers like CASE, Liebherr, and MAN. A highly requested feature, the concrete pump, makes its debut, adding another dimension to the gameplay. And for those eager to jump in, a free "Lite" version is available, offering a taste of the full experience before upgrading for a small fee.

This guide provides essential tips and tricks to help you master Construction Simulator 4 and build a thriving construction empire.

Gain an Early Advantage

Upon launching the game, adjust the settings for a smoother start. Extend the economic cycle to 90 minutes, giving you ample time for strategic planning and recovery from setbacks. Disable traffic rules to avoid frustrating fines and consider selecting Arcade Mode for simplified driving controls.

Master the Fundamentals

Don't skip the tutorial! Hape, your in-game guide, thoroughly explains all game features, from vehicle operation to navigating the company menu where you manage materials, purchase machinery, and set waypoints.

Tackle the Jobs

After completing the tutorial, the game opens up. Use the job system (found in the company menu) to access campaign missions and optional "General Contracts." These contracts provide extra experience and cash to supplement your progress between campaign missions.

Level Up Your Business

Specific jobs require certain vehicles and machinery ranks. Check job descriptions to identify your goals and acquire the necessary equipment. Earn experience points through General Contracts to unlock new vehicles and ranks, enabling you to tackle more challenging campaign missions. The core gameplay loop involves completing campaign missions and filling in the gaps with General Contracts.
