Following the tremendous success of Construction Simulator 2014 on iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ tablets and smartphones (more than 2 million sold games, continuously in the top charts of the app stores), German games publisher astragon Software and developer weltenbauer. announced late last year the release of Construction Simulator 2015 for PC and MAC OS on Steam®!
Just as in the mobile version, in Construction Simulator 2015 the player assumes the role of a builder who sets out to expand a newly inherited construction company and vehicle fleet. The player fulfills construction and supply contracts and works to the top from small-time contractor to the largest construction tycoon in town! In possession of a small flatbed truck with trailer, a skip lorry, and a small excavator, the young entrepreneur first takes on smaller jobs and delivery missions in a little village and its surroundings. The player then invests money in additional machines and vehicles to expand the influence of the company to the big city and its varied neighborhoods.
The Construction Simulator 2015 offers plenty of opportunities to integrate your own vehicles and construction sites into the game. You can use the developer’s own Construction Kit to shape your. The Construction Simulator 2015 offers plenty of opportunities to integrate your own vehicles and construction sites into the game. You can use the developer’s own Construction Kit to shape your own worlds and create your own game content. You can of course also share your mods with the wider community of fans through Steamworks or on fan sites. But alas, American steel gave way to cheap plastic imports and throwaway culture, and now we have Construction Simulator 2015: Gold Edition, which suggests the opportunity to play once more with all the big machines in the safety of one’s digital environment, if not to actually learn to operate the machines on an real-world construction site.
Construction Simulator 2015 Mods Money
The money the player earns by successfully mastering the initial missions can be used to expand the growing business’ fleet: wheel loaders, big excavators, halfpipe trucks, concrete mixers, concrete pumps, flatbed trucks with cranes, forklifts, low loaders, rollers, and giant machines like a LIEBHERR 81k fast-erecting crane or a LTM 1060-3.1 mobile crane. The vehicle fleet includes 15 construction machines and vehicles painstakingly modeled to reflect their real life counterparts by internationally-known manufacturers such as LIEBHERR, MAN, and STILL. The machines support an almost endless variety of building tasks in a large, accessible environment.
As players acquire more vehicles, they can win increasingly complex contracts and demanding undertakings, such as the construction of the municipal swimming pool, a soccer stadium, or a new school building.
In contrast to previous mobile versions, players in the new version can explore a much larger game world with many new features that will set the heart of every construction and simulation fan racing! An extensive cooperative multiplayer mode allows players of Construction Simulator 2015 to play with up to four other players, thus allowing teamwork for challenging buildings tasks. Detailed and fully animated cockpit interior views of the vehicles, machines, and their operational areas guarantee realistic building fun. Also, the newly integrated economic system forces players to look beyond the company’s machines and to manage finances and labor costs.
Thanks to more than 150 building sites with 250 varied subtasks, players will have no problem staying busy in the game’s lively, freely accessible world – including smart AI traffic. And for all those who cannot get enough of Construction Simulator 2015, modding tools can be added to the game. The vehicle editor enables creative players to add new vehicles and machines, while the mission editor allows them to design and integrate their own building missions, which can of course be freely shared with other members of the game’s community.
I checked this out and think that it is a fun game! It is pretty detailed and I was impressed with the variety of things you can do.
Construction Simulator 2015 for PC and MAC OS is available worldwide via Steam® for $29.99.

Construction Simulator 2015 from developer Weltenbauer Software Entwicklung and publisher Astragon Software GmbH is an ambitious title that for the most part delivers a polished and enjoyable experience, yet unfortunately suffers in some gameplay aspects. The list of game features are impressive which include over 200 missions, 15 construction machines, multiplayer mode, open world, and a non-linear dynamic mission system. While I've played a wide variety of simulation games, I was pleasantly surprised with the various gameplay elements from constructing structures to exploring the large game world.
Players begin in a small village which after a few jobs eventually changes location to a larger city with expanded construction opportunities. The path from a small construction company to a behemoth with a variety of vehicles and equipment is aided by a series of in-game tutorials. The game provides one of the better tutorial systems I've seen in which the contracts gradually introduce players to new gameplay elements such as purchasing new vehicles or transporting equipment to construction sites. Unfortunately, the early portion of the game felt more like a transportation simulator than actually constructing buildings as the objectives usually involved delivering palettes of bricks, woods, and other building supplies. Fortunately, the game does expand once players have earned more experience which in turn makes special jobs and architect contracts available.
The game's controls provided the most frustration during gameplay as some actions in game require three button pushes to perform simple tasks such as lowering a support wheel. It doesn't help either that an in-game help overlay for controls displays both keyboard and controller button presses alongside each other resulting in a mess of text. Another source of frustration was the game's handling of physics as weight and movement feel unbalanced in the various actions from driving a vehicle to loading equipment with a forklift. Many of the in-game tasks such as loading equipment onto trailers or controlling cranes often take far too much time and patience because of complicated controls and odd physics. Some of the early gameplay elements such as using forklifts are later replaced by better equipment to make the jobs easier.
The game's best content is locked behind menial progression that takes about three to four hours before useful equipment and more interesting construction contracts are made available. While the player can assign non-playable characters to complete job objectives, they don't provide any experience for completion. The real way forward in the game requires the player to complete a variety of not very interesting jobs before the game expands with a larger city. One benefit of the slow progression is the gradual transition of the in-game world with the various construction projects that players complete becomes a subtle, but highly rewarding presentation of gameplay progress.
If you have the patience and endurance to stick through the introductory hours of menial jobs and construction equipment, then I can easily recommend Construction Simulator 2015 for a purchase. However, players looking for an accessible gameplay experience that provides instant satisfaction should look elsewhere for their next simulation game purchase.
Construction Simulator 2015 is available now on Steam.
