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. Boasting over 30 new, fully-licensed vehicles from brands like CASE, Liebherr, and MAN, including the long-awaited concrete pump, and a cooperative multiplayer mode, this game is a must-have for construction enthusiasts. Best of all, a free "Lite" version lets you sample the action before upgrading to the full game for a small fee.

This guide provides essential tips and tricks to jumpstart your construction empire.

Gain an Early Advantage

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

Master the Basics

Don't skip the comprehensive tutorial! Follow Hape's guidance to learn vehicle operation, company menu navigation (for material trading, machinery purchases, and waypoint setting), and all essential game mechanics.

Tackle the Jobs

After the tutorial, utilize the job system (found in the company menu) to progress through campaign missions. Supplement these with optional "General Contracts" to earn extra cash and experience, bridging the gap between challenging campaign missions.

Level Up Your Business

Job descriptions specify required vehicles and machinery ranks. Use this information to set goals, acquiring the necessary equipment to tackle the next campaign mission. Earn experience points through General Contracts to unlock new vehicles and ranks. The core gameplay loop involves completing campaign missions and filling in with General Contracts.
