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
  
  • The flashlight can be activated and deactivated via the context menu
  
  
• It is now possible to own and store more than 100 vehicles in one company
  
• Replaced Google Analytics with Unity Analytics
  
• Added offline profanity filter. Inappropriate words will be filtered, e.g. in the names of multiplayer sessions
  
• Server Region Changes
  
  • USA South Central region was added
  
  
• Major earthworks improvements
  
  • Completely reworked multiplayer synchronisation for earthworks. Terrain is now simulated locally for the client which makes it smoother to work on
    
  • Improved terrain physics: heavy impacts of any source now deform and flatten the terrain. This reduces the frequency of vehicles getting stuck
    
  • Driving over terrain slightly compacts it which prevents it from sliding as easily
    
  • Improved unloading of bulk materials. The material is now applied in more detail and looks better
    
  • Fixed issue where bulk would not fall out of dumper even if hatch is open
    
  • Fixed issue where it was possible to create bulk material by digging in undiggable ground
    
  • Various optimisations allow the construction view of terrains to update in near real time
    
  • Fixed issues where the construction view would show the wrong colors on terrains
    
  • Fixed construction view of cargo grid
    
  • Fixed various construction site desyncs
    
  • Fixed some instances where vehicles would fly into the air when entering while on a construction site
    
  • Fixed issue where clients did not leave skid marks on construction sites
    
  • Improved performance of inactive machines with bulk material
    
  • Various performance and memory optimisations of the earth physics
    
  • Many more bug fixes regarding terrain
    
  
  
• Vehicle fixes and improvements
  
  • Improved digging depth of many excavators
    
  • Adjusted amount of bulk material which excavator and dumpers can hold. The volumes are now more realistic and depend on the size of the loading area or the excavator bucket
    
  • Improved drilling with rotary drills
    
  • Fixed issue where Case 1021G was able to remove earth indefinitely without the shovel filling up
    
  • Fixed an issue where the MAN TGS/LH HTM 904 concrete mixer had the functions of a service vehicle
    
  • Added collision check when resetting vehicles for excavators and rotary drills
    
  • Fixed some cases where machines and characters would jump to the same spot and get stuck
    
  • Improved the stability of vehicles on trailers
    
  • and many more fixes and improvements
  
  
• Multiple fixes for multiplayer
  
  • Fixed many issues where players wouldn't be able to join a multiplayer session
    
  • Initial multiplayer synchronisation when joining a game is significantly faster in many cases
    
  • Fixed issue where multiplayer synchronisation lasts forever and the gate at the company never opens for the client
    
  • Fixed some cases where cargos would disappear for clients
    
  • and many more small fixes
    
  
  
• Bug fixes and improvements in jobs
  
• General bug fixes and improvements
  

Have fun and be safe on the construction sites! 👷
