Construction Simulator 4 Guide: Tips and Tricks to Help You Get Started

Construction Simulator 4: A Seven-Year Wait Worthwhile

Seven years after its predecessor, Construction Simulator 4 arrives, and it's a significant upgrade. Set in the breathtaking Pinewood Bay, inspired by the Canadian landscape, this installment delivers on what fans love about the series and more.

Boasting over 30 new fully licensed vehicles from brands like CASE, Liebherr, and MAN, it also introduces a highly requested addition: the concrete pump. Furthermore, a cooperative mode lets you team up with friends for even more construction fun.

Best of all? A free "Lite" version is available for download, allowing you to experience a taste of the game before upgrading to the full version for a small fee of just $5.

This guide will help you get started and build a thriving construction empire in Construction Simulator 4.

Give Yourself a Head Start

When you begin, adjust the settings for an easier start, especially if you're a new player. Extend the economic cycle to 90 minutes, giving you ample time to strategize and recover 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, your in-game guide, thoroughly explains every feature, from vehicle operation to navigating the company menu where you manage materials, purchase machinery, and set waypoints.

Tackle the Jobs

After the tutorial, the game opens up. Use the jobs system (found in the company menu) to access campaign missions and optional "General Contracts." These contracts offer extra experience and cash to help you progress between campaign missions.

Level Up Your Business

Certain jobs require specific vehicles and machinery ranks. Check the job descriptions to identify your goals and acquire the necessary equipment. Earn experience points through General Contracts to unlock new vehicles and ranks, fueling your progress through campaign missions.
