We just released the latest update for Construction Simulator. In addition to bug fixes and general game improvements, Update 9 introduces a new tool for your construction worker: a flashlight! 🔦 We also focused on improving terrain simulation and upgraded the vehicle hall capacity: You’re now able to store up to 500 vehicles.
Watch the release trailer here:
Patch notes – Update #9:
- Added a flashlight to the player
