Construction Simulator/Skills

As individual players level up, special passive bonuses become available to improve efficiency. One skill point is gained upon leveling up.

Bucket Capacity


Official Description: Whether it's with a shovel, a bucket or a blade, when it comes to moving and lifting soil, you display special talent and skill for it.

A powerful secondary upgrade, though some other upgrades should generally have priority. This upgrade primarily benefits excavators and backhoes when it comes to carrying large amounts of dirt and other materials.

Bulk Material Capacity
Official Description: The daily routine of loading dump trucks lets you load and transport more bulk material from A to B.

Perhaps the second or third upgrade worth picking up, this upgrade helps you carry more bulk materials in trucks.

Asphalt Capacity
Official Description: ''A new compression method allows you to load more hot asphalt, which mean[sic] less driving and faster road building.

The fourth or fifth upgrade worth picking up, asphalt capacity helps when managing roads, but you'll generally be using more dirt, sand, and gravel than asphalt.

Crane Speed


Official Description: Handling a crane is easier and you can move loads on the construction site more quickly and precisely.

Crane speed is one of the most helpful upgrades, as nearly every job requires the use of a flatbed crane, tower crane, or mobile crane. The increased speed helps you get materials around faster and more efficiently.

Concrete Viscosity
Official Description: You are a skilled concrete worker and know how to mix the perfect concrete for smooth pouring without leaving any open spots.

Ostensibly useful for pouring concrete, but its exact effects are unknown.

Fitness
Official Description: ''You invest in a fitness program for young company owners and it pays off. You're as nimble as a gazelle and you leap and climb like a panther.''

The last upgrade you should focus on, this upgrade affects your running speed. This shouldn't be a priority because your speed should come from vehicles and not running.

Fuel Efficient Driving
Official Description: ''Your constant engagement on the road pays off. As you drive, you use less gas.''

Similar to wear efficient driving, fuel efficient driving reduces your fuel consumption, saving costs from driving around. It shouldn't be the first upgrade, but after getting the capacity upgrades, aim for this next.

Wear Efficient Driving
Official Description: You know every construction machine like the back of your hand and have learned how to compensate for the inevitable wear and tear through operation.

Similar to fuel efficient driving, wear efficient driving reduces the rate at which your vehicle loses condition, saving costs from driving around. It shouldn't be the first upgrade, but after getting the capacity upgrades, aim for this next.

Good Business Sense
Official Description: During negotiations you impress contractors with your oratory skills, earning a bonus for every job you complete.

The most important upgrade, this upgrade provides an increase in the rewards gained from each contract. Grab this upgrade first to make acquiring vehicles and buying repairs and fuel easier.
