Construction Simulator 4: A Beginner's Guide to Mastering the Art of Construction
Seven years in the making, Construction Simulator 4 is finally here, and it's worth the wait! Set in the stunning, Canadian-inspired Pinewood Bay, this installment boasts over 30 new vehicles, including the highly anticipated concrete pump, and a cooperative multiplayer mode for playing with friends. All vehicles are officially licensed from brands like CASE, Liebherr, and MAN. Best of all, you can try it for free with the Construction Simulator 4 Lite version! Upgrade to the full game for just $5 after experiencing the free trial.
This guide provides essential tips and tricks to help you build a thriving construction empire.
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.
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.
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.
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.
