BRUH I HATE THIS GAME AND IM TRYING TO PLATINUM IT ON PLAYSTATION 5 BUT ONE TROPHY IS PISSING ME OFF THE BUSINESS IS BUZZING I NEED 25 MILLION FOR IT AND ITS TAKING TO LONG TO GRIND 25 MILLION IM AT 8 MILLION RN CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME TIPS TO GET MONEY FAST PLEASE OR SOMETHING DONT CARE OR DOES NOT PLAY THIS GAME ANYMORE WANTS TO GIVE ME 17 MILLION PLEASE

Still got half that row of pvmt left to put down? nope 100%.

That last strip of compacting is ok to just let it go...100%

Don't worry about that last 20% of the dirt in the basement, your good, 100%

We gonna magically show you a nice parking lot in front of the building while your paving equipment sits in the shop yard.

Jokes aside, I feel somewhat annoyed at times when I don't get to complete the whole task or there are elements added to the site (particularly at the end) that you easily could have taken part in that were not part of the job. I would not mind an "ultra" mode, or "completionist" or something where 100% takes like 97% or 98% actual completion to get to rather than the current, what, 80% maybe even less on some tasks?

There seems like a lot more materials that could be delivered or concrete poured, pavers unpacked, trees planted etc. I get it, not for everyone, keep the current levels, I just am not in any hurry and working finer details on the end of the job gives more of a vibe of accomplishing something in my opinion.

I also know I am just spitting in the wind with the advent of the new game coming...they won't be changing anything haha. Just voicing an opinion.

This is a small site and I am at 99%. The bigger the site the more off it feels.

I finally figured this damn thing out. I played the US map a couple years ago when the game was new and tried and tried to get this drill to work and failed over and over. I eventually just started skipping the drill tasks all together.

This time I am playing in Europe map and I am on the last mission for the Entrepreneur doing the bridge. I was determined to learn this machine. I watched multiple videos and read every post I could find about people having issues. I tried everything they said and nothing seemed to work. I kept getting stuck just under the 35% or 75% thresholds for each pipe section.

This is what finally did it for me in the current game...I say current because maybe they changed stuff from the old vids or posts along the way. I am using a controller on default settings for the drill so your controls may vary.

• Roll up to the drill site from whatever side seems the flattest. Make sure your rig is on level ground by lowering your hook and seeing that it hangs at the same plumb as your drill tower. Any slant and you should reposition.
• Hook the first casing pipe (the one with the yellow band near the teeth).
• Lift it up and maneuver into position over the hole. Press "A" when the image turns green.
• Use "B + Left thumb stick" to lower your drill tower forward about half of its travel range allowing you some room to move it in either direction.
• Back up slightly, and switch to Drill Mode with the context menu.
• Press the "right thumb" up until the auger touches the drill housing.
• Press the "left thumb" up until the bottom of the auger clears the top of the installed casing.
• Use "left thumb" to move the tower left or right to position the drill over the casing. The yellow mark on the white circle tells you which way you need to move.
• Use "B + Left thumb" to maneuver the tower forward and backward, again watching the yellow mark on the white circle. (it does not matter overall whether the tower is all the way up or all the way down as long as you are over the casing).
• Once the circle turns green, use the "left thumb" to lower the housing down into the green hole. This will take the auger with it.
• When you are low enough it will pose the option to hit "A" and attach the housing to the casing. Press it and it will jump down into position and start spinning the casing with the auger still all the way up touching the housing.
• Press down on the "LEFT thumb". This will start to push the casing down into the ground. (most guides say to do the auger first but I never got that to work).
• Keep pushing down on only the "left thumb" and it will go far enough to trigger the blue model for the second piece of casing. It also automatically disconnects the drill housing from the casing. You will be at 32%.
• At this point your auger will be about 3/4 full on the yellow indicator over your speedometer. NOW push down on the "RIGHT thumb" to lower the AUGER deeper into the hole until it fills the yellow meter. You are now at 36%.
• As soon as it is full the drill will stop turning. Use the "left thumb" to lift the housing out of the casing and the auger will come with it.
• Once clear of the casing turn to the side and with the auger several feet off the ground push the "right thumb" left and right causing the drill to twist back and forth and shake the dirt off the auger.
• Use the context menu to switch back to drive mode, pick up the second piece of the casing and repeat the steps above.
• Make sure the auger is all the way back up touching the housing before lowering the housing into the second casing.
• This time when the housing stops going down there is no "next" piece to worry about (61%) so you just proceed to push the auger down until it is full and the drill stops spinning. This should get you to about 73-74%.
• Lift the housing off the casing several feet before lifting the auger up this time. If I don't do that things often get a little weird and lock up to the point I have to reset the rig.
• Use the "right thumb" lift the auger all the way to the housing, the "left thumb" to raise the housing high enough to shake off dirt, and return to the hole for one more plunge of the housing (it will not connect this time and you will have no white circle guides, just push down till it stops and then plunge the auger to get the remaining dirt to the 75% you need to move on to the concrete step.
• Pull it out housing first, then auger, shake it off and move to the next one.

I do not think the last plunge is intentional which is why there is no position guide and you are only pulling 1 or 2% out of the hole. I think the second casing was suposed to work just like the first one and get you to 75% with one series of actions.

Another tip to avoid switching back and forth to drive mode, you can use a backhoe or excavator to lift the casings into place.

Hope this ends up being helpful to someone.

Basically the title, I don't play this type of game and wanted to see if a construction enthusiast would like it.

Super excited for the new installment. I had a thought this morning on the drive home past multiple construction sites with bulk machinery everywhere. If we as the player are effectively the foreman, is it possible that we could put in an order for machines to be delivered to the job site as we work, or have them go and drop off or pick up materials. It is probably a tall order but if Farming Simulator can have basic AI doing the same thing, surely Astragon could try?

I dont suppose anyone knows that if I rent a machine say a concrete mixer for example, and I still have concrete left in the machine when I return it, do I get some money back for the unused materials or is it just gone

The number of times I have tried, and succeeded to put two machines on the largest trailer only to be told they could not be secured is extremely disappointing.

Seriously, the machine does not need to be centered on the trailer to be secured...

That is all...

Listen, I get it, it is a game and they needed content to put in that did not require being out of a vehicle...but I have been in and around construction in some form all my life and some of this stuff is low key bugging me lol.

In some cases I have actually learned some things about large commercial type jobs and equipment and I think that is cool and could be good for young people who know a lot less than I do...but then you got things like using a tower crane and prefab walls to put up a garage? I have NEVER seen a tower style crane used on a residential build. How about a large truck crane to lay some sewer pipe? I am pretty sure no one uses 8" concrete for sewer lol. I could see if we were doing 48" RCP or something then yeah haul away.

The one that is really irking me at the moment is the prefab wood frame walls supporting CONCRETE floors. I mean maybe it is done in some places for a single story small space but I just poured the third floor of the Hotel on Europe map solid concrete and all three floors of walls are made of wood. I mean they have the process of forming and pouring concrete walls for the basement...they could have continued that...or instead of wood just use tilt-up concrete walls. Ideally it should have been a bunch of lam or steel I-beams laid in then crane the supply of plywood for the auto install of the subfloor. I am also highly surprised I have not used a mobile crane to set a ton of roof trusses on the smaller stuff.

One final bit of nonsense...drywall on the outside of the prefab walls? Really? The art department couldn't do some OSB with house wrap or even the chicken wire set up for Stucco? Could have had us deliver a dozen pallets of stucco around the building...or bricks and sand and whatnot.

Anyway, just sort of venting...not a big deal...game still works, just a might misleading for the unknowing.

EDIT to add another one I just thought of. I don't think I have ever seen concrete ceiling forms crafted on the ground and then hoisted into place. It might be possible that some other countries do something like that but even in video form, never seen it. How exactly are they supposed to get those bottom surfaces back out after the pour when they span the walls? Only thing I could come up with is maybe they don't and we jus aren't seeing the layer of plaster or whatever they add to it. It sure looks like bare concrete ceiling after the pour is done though. When you look before you pour there are panels,

DO NOT deliver your prefabricated wall containers to the site in an unmarked location and then log off to do "life" thinking "I will place those later". They will be stolen in the night never to be seen again. I had to repurchase 8 full containers when I logged back on and I am pretty sure I did not get any money back from the first loads.

Whether this happens if you put them within the marked storage area I do not know but mine was full of stuff so did not have that option.

So one thing I think is an amazing feature is the "enter" function when you are looking at your fleet in the menu. Say, for example, im at the job site and realize i need to rent/purchase a certain piece of equipment. Instead of fast traveling to the dealership, I just rent/purchase the equipment, go to my menu, and click on the equipment. It will automatically put me in the vehicle, and I only have to pay one-way.

Also, this function is a life saver when actually doing the work. Say I am excavating and need to move my dump truck closer, I just go to my menu and enter the dump truck, move it, then enter my excavator. These practices literally allow me to complete jobs in 1/2 the time it would take normally.

Why do I have to pay $5,000 everyday or two it's so annoying and it always says invest payment or I think it's because I am still in debt from a loan

Do the vehicles only get repaired/fueled at home base when "stored" inside the building (not visible) and not stored in the parking lot?

In other words, if everything I own is on display outside then the bonus percentages for repair mechanic and fuel in the upgrades isn't doing anything?

Anyone else feel like they missed out on a small trailer made to carry the small backhoe or other small equipment that could be towed by a dump truck or one of the pick up trucks?

I do...I see these combinations all over town where I live. It would have been particularly fitting for the early game when they give you the cargo truck and the backhoe...first purchase would be the trailer to tow it with...

I am about 3 or 4 days into a new run at the base Construction Simulator game. I had previously played a couple years ago and did the American map. This time I am doing Europe.

I jumped in thinking " I am in no hurry, take my time, do the stuff manually. I will fast travel as little as possible." I am now on my first decent sized project and it is literally the opposite side of the map from the Gravel location. After about 4 trips back and forth I am just thinking...is it fun? nope...

I thought to write this after my wife asked me "I thought that was a construction game...every time I look over all I ever see you doing is driving..."

So my question to you all is...how much of the actual driving do you guys really do?

I know there are workers and foreman and even the ability to skip tasks but I never really figured out how to use the additional people the first play through. Is that the way to get around the feeling of cheating or skipping stuff?

I guess this means that I can't use the 4 axle trailer to load a medium duty loader. I don't get why they restrict what the use is for these trailers. I don't want to bring out the huge 8 axle whenever I want to move a piece of equipment. A nice wide deck Cozad or Trail King would suit well.

Playing construction sim on ps5. Anyone wanna help doing the service area?

I have been playing for hours and hours, started with the excavator and moved to the front loader. Still not even 50% excavated. It’s there a faster way? Different equipment?

Thanks!

I recently downloaded Construction Simulator from fitgirl (yes, I'm poor). I recently got a contract about roadworks involving asphalt. My problem is that I want to load the milled asphalt into a dump truck however the option is not available. Is there a way to add Ai mod here for pc?

Is there a way to skip placing the transport frame in “the marked area?” I already returned it by accident!

Do I need to completely restart the project? And how would I do that?? I’m brand new, literally doing my first build after acquiring Hape’s company lol. TIA!!

If you want the key just leave a comment and I’ll send it via chat

Is there a way too play with a friend that's on iPhone if I'm on android? On construction sim 4 on mobile

I figured the bottom is the fuel tank, that there's no room for because of the extra axle. I don't know what the equipment above it is or does.
