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

Gain an Early Advantage

Start strong by adjusting the game's settings. Extend the economic cycle to 90 minutes for more time between financial reports, allowing for better planning and recovery from setbacks. Disable traffic rules to avoid fines and consider using Arcade Mode for simplified driving controls.

Master the Basics

Don't skip the tutorial! The helpful NPC, Hape, thoroughly explains all game features, from vehicle operation to managing the company menu (where you trade materials, buy machinery, and set waypoints). Completing the tutorial ensures a solid foundation for your construction journey.

Tackle the Jobs

After the tutorial, the game opens up. Use the job system (found in the company menu) to access campaign missions and optional "General Contracts." General Contracts offer extra experience and cash, bridging the gap between challenging campaign missions.

Level Up Your Business

Certain jobs require specific vehicles and machinery ranks. Check job descriptions to identify your goals and acquire the necessary equipment. Gain experience points (XP) by completing General Contracts to unlock new vehicles and ranks. The core gameplay loop involves tackling campaign missions and supplementing with General Contracts.
