Four hard hats, one company
Up to four of you can work the same map, with the host running the shared company. That structure makes co-op games with co-op friends simple to organize: join, take a machine, and get to work.
A good session feels like a real shift. You dig a foundation with two excavators while another player trucks the spoil to the gravel plant, then someone else arrives with panels or concrete. With up to three sites open at once in the later game, there is always somewhere useful to send a friend.
Real machines with real controls
The fleet is 16 licensed machines from LIEBHERR, STILL and MAN, each with its own job. You steer excavators with two-joystick SAE controls, place roof trusses with a mobile crane, and pour factory walls with an enormous concrete pump.
Sounds are recorded from the original machines, which helps the slow pace settle into something calm. Beginners can switch to arcade controls and learn from the tutorial, while pros keep the fiddly levers. A misplaced truck is part of the charm.
Towns, fields and a long job list
The world is freely drivable, with towns, fields, dealers, suppliers and a highway connecting the work. Missions follow a non-linear dynamic system, so your company picks what pays and unlocks larger jobs, new office locations and special missions as experience grows.
There are over 150 missions and 200 working stages, from pits and foundations to full builds. If that runs dry, mod support lets you add vehicles and sites through the Construction Kit and share them through Steamworks.
What else should you know?
Can you play it solo if no co-op friends are online?
Yes. You can explore the same world alone, take contracts, earn money and experience, and expand your fleet and offices. Solo shifts are slower and calmer, since every drive, load and lift is yours.
How hard are the controls to learn?
There is a detailed tutorial and two control schemes. Arcade keeps driving and digging straightforward, while pro adds authentic machine handling such as SAE excavator levers. Gamepads, steering wheels and many joysticks are supported, though Thrustmaster hardware is not.
What do you actually do on a job?
Most contracts run in stages: collect materials from dealers or suppliers, haul them to site, then operate the right machine. That can mean excavating, loading, pouring concrete, lifting trusses or moving pallets with a forklift before the site clears for the next stage.
