Construction Simulator 4: A Beginner's Guide to Mastering the Construction World

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 – 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 committing to the full $5 upgrade.

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

Gain an Early Advantage

Begin by adjusting in-game settings for a smoother start. 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 using Arcade Mode for simplified driving controls.

Master the Basics

Don't skip the tutorial! Hape, your in-game guide, thoroughly explains all game mechanics, including vehicle operation and the company menu (used for material trading, purchasing machinery, and setting waypoints). This comprehensive tutorial will equip you with the knowledge you need.

Tackle the Jobs

After completing the tutorial, the game's job system provides ongoing guidance. The company menu lists campaign missions and optional "General Contracts" offering extra experience and cash to progress between challenging campaign missions.

Level Up Your Business

Certain jobs require specific vehicles and machinery ranks. Consult job descriptions to identify your goals and acquire the necessary equipment. 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.
