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. With over 30 new fully-licensed vehicles from CASE, Liebherr, MAN, and more – including the long-awaited concrete pump – plus a cooperative multiplayer mode, this is a must-have for construction game enthusiasts. Best of all, a free 'Lite' version lets you sample the action before upgrading to the full game for just $5.

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 settings. Extend the economic reporting cycle to 90 minutes for better financial planning and recovery time. Disable traffic rules to avoid fines and consider using Arcade Mode for simplified driving controls.

Master the Basics

Don't skip the tutorial! Hape, your in-game guide, thoroughly explains every aspect of the game, from vehicle operation to managing your company's finances and setting waypoints. This ensures a smooth learning curve.

Tackle the Jobs

After the tutorial, use the job system (found in the company menu) to guide your progress. Campaign missions provide the main storyline, while optional 'General Contracts' offer extra experience and funds to help you advance between campaign missions.

Level Up Your Equipment

Specific jobs require particular vehicles and machinery ranks. Check job descriptions to identify your goals and strategically acquire the necessary equipment by earning experience points through General Contracts. The core gameplay loop is simple: complete campaign missions and fill the gaps with General Contracts to level up.
