Construction Simulator 4: Expert Tips & Tricks

Construction Simulator 4: A Seven-Year Wait Worth Celebrating

Seven years after its predecessor, Construction Simulator 4 finally arrives, and it's a worthwhile addition to the series. The game transports players to the stunning Pinewood Bay, a region inspired by the breathtaking Canadian landscape.

But the real draw of Construction Simulator 4 lies in its gameplay enhancements. Over 30 new vehicles, including a highly requested concrete pump, join the roster, alongside a cooperative mode for teamwork with friends. These vehicles boast fully licensed models from renowned manufacturers like CASE, Liebherr, and MAN.

Best of all, a free "Lite" version is available, allowing players to experience a taste of the game before committing to the full $5 upgrade.

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

Give Yourself a Head Start

Upon launching Construction Simulator 4, adjust the settings for an early advantage. Extend the economic cycle to 90 minutes for more time between profit/loss 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! Hape, the in-game NPC, provides a comprehensive walkthrough of all game features, including vehicle operation and the company menu (used for material trading, purchasing machinery, and setting waypoints).

Tackle the Jobs

After completing the tutorial, the game opens up. Use the company menu to access jobs, including campaign missions and optional "General Contracts" offering extra experience and cash.

Level Up Your Business

Specific jobs require certain vehicles and machinery ranks. Review job descriptions to identify your goals and acquire the necessary equipment. Earn experience points through General Contracts to unlock new vehicles and ranks, progressing through campaign missions and filling in with General Contracts as needed.
