Construction Simulator 4: A Beginner's Guide to Mastering the Construction Business
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, fully licensed vehicles from brands like CASE, Liebherr, and MAN, including the long-awaited concrete pump. A new cooperative mode lets you team up with friends, and a free "Lite" version lets you try before you buy!
This guide provides essential tips and tricks to quickly build a successful construction empire.
Gain an Early Advantage
Start strong by adjusting in-game settings. Extend the economic cycle to 90 minutes for more time between financial reports, easing 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, your in-game guide, thoroughly explains all features, including vehicle operation and the company menu (used for material trading, vehicle purchases, and waypoint setting). Completing the tutorial is key to understanding the game's mechanics.
Tackle the Jobs
After the tutorial, you'll find jobs in the company menu. These include campaign missions and optional "General Contracts," offering extra experience and cash to progress between campaign missions.
Level Up Your Equipment
Job requirements specify needed 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 supplementing with General Contracts.
