As promised, this guide will help you kickstart your journey in Construction Simulator 4 with some essential tips and tricks to run a top-notch construction business.
Give Yourself an Advantage
When you first launch Construction Simulator 4, take the time to adjust the settings for an early advantage, especially if you're new to the game. Start by tweaking the economic cycle. Setting it to the full 90 minutes gives you more time to plan and recover from setbacks. Also, consider turning off traffic rules to avoid fines for reckless driving. Opting for Arcade Mode can simplify the controls, making the driving experience more manageable.
Learn the Ropes
Don't skip the tutorial—it's one of the best out there. An NPC named Hape will guide you through every aspect of the game in detail. By following his steps, you'll learn how to drive all vehicles and navigate the company menu, where you can trade materials, purchase new machinery, and set waypoints.
Pick up Jobs
After completing the tutorial, you'll be immersed in the game's world. The jobs system in the company menu will guide you, housing your campaign missions. You can also take on optional 'General Contracts' for additional 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 understand what you need and set goals accordingly. You can unlock new vehicles and ranks by earning experience points, which you can gain through general contracts. The strategy is simple: complete campaign missions when possible and fill the gaps with general contracts.
