This guide is here to help you kickstart your journey in Construction Simulator 4. Follow these tips and tricks to build a top-notch construction business in no time.
Give Yourself an Advantage
When you first launch Construction Simulator 4, take a moment to adjust the settings for an early advantage, especially if you're new to the game. Start by tweaking the economic cycle to the full 90 minutes. This gives you ample time to strategize and recover from any setbacks. Additionally, turn off traffic rules to avoid fines for reckless driving, and opt for Arcade Mode to simplify the controls and enhance your driving experience.
Learn the Ropes
Don't skip the tutorial—it's your key to mastering the game. An NPC named Hape will guide you through every feature in detail, from driving the vehicles to navigating the company menu. This menu is crucial for trading materials, purchasing new machinery, and setting waypoints, so make sure you understand it thoroughly.
Pick up Jobs
After completing the tutorial, you'll be immersed in the game world. Use the jobs system in the company menu to find your campaign missions. Don't overlook the optional 'General Contracts' either; they're a great way to earn extra experience and cash, helping you progress between the more challenging campaign missions.
Rank Up
To tackle certain jobs and missions, you'll need specific vehicles and ranks of machinery. Check the job descriptions to see what's required and set your goals accordingly. You can unlock new vehicles and ranks by accumulating experience points, which you can earn through general contracts. The strategy is simple: complete campaign missions when possible and fill the gaps with general contracts.
