Players have certainly checked out an array of simulators that are out now, but one such simulator sticks out from the rest, and that isConstruction Simulator (2022), an experience that throws gamers into an in-depth world of building and construction that boasts deep immersion and lots of fun to play. The planning that takes in terms of finances, equipment, and time greatly satisfies gamers when they are done with a project and are rewarded for it.

The planning part is a real deal and a big part of the factors that make the game a truly immersive simulation. Knowing which machines to prioritize over the vast collection of equipment the game offers can help players make smarter decisions.
10Cranes
Size does matter when it comes to construction. Players will find that they are craning a lot in this game. A lot of materials and equipment will be utilized for jobs, but builders might get caught unaware in the middle of a job if they need to have heavy objects moved from one area to another while a crane is nowhere in sight.
Make sure to do jobs fast, generate cash, and then purchase a crane as soon as possible so that it is always handy whenever it is needed, and it will be needed a lot. Cranes are one of the best machines to get.
9Dump Trucks
Useful for more than just dumping as the name might suggest. Another piece of equipment players will find themselves using a lot are dump trucks. Jobs will require a lot of movement of resources such as soil, gravel, and others.Transportation is a big part of the game, even if it boasts amazing fast travel mechanics.
Dump trucks offer more than just a handy set of wheels. If players are unwilling to travel to plants for purchasing resources, they can fill their dump truck on the spot, which will cost a little more than if players had purchased from a plant.
8Concrete Mixers
There aren’t many structures out there that don’t require concrete. Concrete is used in almost every piece of architecture and is astaple ingredient in building major cities. So players can understand why having a machine related to concrete is so important.

As the name suggests, concrete mixers are used to create concrete to be used across a variety of jobs inConstruction Simulator. Players will find them to be one of the best machines to prioritize right alongside cranes.
7Concrete Pourers
The importance of concrete has just been discussed, justifying why the concrete mixer needs to be prioritized. Players have all their quality concrete mixtures available at just the right density and proportion of ingredients. What now? The next step is crucial to maintain all the hard work done by the concrete mixer.
If concrete mixers are a priority, then so are concrete pourers. Concrete pouring is more than just dropping concrete into the right area and hoping for the best. These sophisticated machines help pour this valuable resource easily and with precision.
6Drills
All this talk of concrete and yet no one is talking about what comes before it. What lays the foundation of the concrete? Where will the concrete go? Drills are huge excavation machines that cut through rock and other hard materials to achieve certain objectives such as drilling columns, after which it can install steel frames before concrete can be poured.
Any house or structure requires a stable foundation. The best way to start building that foundation is with a construction drill. From buildings to poles and even fence posts, a drill will get the job done if its base needs to be buried under the ground.
5Bulldozers
It’s supposed to be a building’s foundation, not a mountain track or a bumpy road. If a person is inside a completed structure, and they are walking, they should be walking straight rather than wobbling around. Just like that, a building’s foundation should be level, to ensure its strength and integrity are solidified at its core.
A bulldozer is an important machine that is used to remove the topsoil to make the ground level and even. Players can use construction view mode, which assists here using different color codes to indicate if the job is done or not. If the soil is green, then that shows it is level.
4Excavators
Excavators are multipurpose machines.Players will find themselves digging a lotinConstruction Simulatorto help them prepare sites. But the thing about excavators is that they are used for more than just digging. Because of their heavy-duty nature, excavators come in handy when it comes to demolition.

Granted, cranes have versatility in terms of the carried object’s mobility but it itself is less mobile. Excavators also have the capability of carrying and moving heavy objects as long as the objects are not too huge.
3Soil Compactors
Going through this article, readers will realize that preparing the soil is a key component of the game. Excavators, bulldozers, and even dump trucks, all are part of this list and all have something to do with soil in one way or another.
Now players already have a bulldozer combined with ‘construction view’ to help them out in leveling the soil but another machine that makes this easier is a soil compactor. A soil compactor stabilizes the soil by compressing and kneading it to increase its density and make it level.
2Wheel Loaders
Now how can a list have dump trucks as one of the most important machines and not mention wheel loaders? There are just some things that cannot be transported by cranes and excavators. Players might think that excavators can serve as good alternatives, but excavators aren’t made for that.
Wheel loaders come to the rescue for all loading needs for builders. These heavy vehicles are useful for lifting debris, soil, gravel, and just about anything that can fit into their large buckets. Their primary functions are lifting and loading.
1Asphalt Pavers
Can a city ever be complete without roads?With all this talk about buildings and structures, concrete, and craning, one mustn’t forget the importance of asphalt in construction. Players will find quite a few jobs that will require them to work on roads.
Asphalt is put in the front of the paver and the whole material spreads at the back, which helps in paving roads neatly and with precision. If players appreciate driving around the map on level and quality roads, they will appreciate the work that goes into road paving jobs and have this machine handy.
Construction Simulatoris available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
