How about more affordable, used equipment for sale? They could incorporate wear & tear into the graphics, and maybe make the maintenance interval be a little higher, but it'd get people into bigger jobs quicker. We also need more jobs for the blade (motor grader). What about a large job where we have haul roads that need maintained? Why not bring in a couple scrapers? How about over excavation to remove bad native soil, which would then be replaced by structural fill which would need compaction?

I don't think it snows in Westside plains but I'm sure weather would be an awesome update. Rain or thunderstorms. A street sweeper would be nice for those messy roads.

Wear and tear would be an awesome update. I've only used the moto grader once. I'd like to know when can we start upgrading the city? The dirty streets, the decrepit buildings. Fix the sewer system. Maintenance the over pass.

And break into some of the off-limits areas behind gates on the north end? The game could use a rail yard, too. We could build it, then use it to unload heavy-haul items or ship stuff to out-of-town contracts.

Definitely an in cab view for all vehicles.
It's probably quite do-able but even a VR version, playable with VR goggles with the POV from inside the cab and at the controls of each vehicle.
Would also like to see side shift on the forklift like the original construction simulator, and maybe even a telehandler like you see on most building sites

Hello All! Love the Franchise. Been playing it since it was first out. A few ideas I had. *An area that is run down and can have contracts to rebuild. *Ability to demolish buildings, clear the way and build something new. *Sand box mode... build what you want anywhere. * And soo sorry for this all..... PC version Pls pls pls pls pls.......
I could sit here for hours with ideas in my head but dont have that much time. things like mining, tunneling, clearing recks off road, and many of the great ideas above.... Keep up the great work guys.

How about the simple ability to load multiple pieces of machinery on a single trailer? Also, how about a selection of skid loaders, small and large, rubber tire and tracks? While I'm at it, why not some trailers that are more common (at least in these parts), like beaver tails, belly dumps and drop-neck lowboys?
I like the idea of demolition jobs, so we'd need roll-off dumpsters (and trucks to haul them) as well as a selection of implements for the excavators, like thumbs, grapples, crackers and hammers.
And they badly need to fix how asphalt paving works. No one dumps the truck and then runs the paver with a few yards of hot-mix unless it's a small run-in or run-out section. Use the helper function and push the dump with the paver.
And along with the accident and red-light penalties, how about penalties for loud noise during night time is residential areas? Not looking to make the game cost more, just be more realistic. Hell, make the alert still pop up but have the option to disable the penalty fees just like the other penalties.

And a tractor like the Scania 143M that Repi just put in the CS2015 workshop. That thing is awesome. A tractor with a 5th wheel, Palfinger, and it's quick with a great turning radius. Granted, for the US-based game I'd expect a ale worth T-800 or something but it sure would be handy.

One thing that frustrates me a little is tiny orders from the building supply company.
2 pallets of MDF 2 pallets of planks doesn't build half a house

Agreed, building materials of all types cover an unrealistic amount of work. Even with the paver...a load of asphalt will probably only do less than 50' of a full-width, 3" layer (in the real world)...here it does much, much more than that. Maybe that should be on a slider in Settings, too.

Can't help but think the large dump trucks are completely pointless for this game, no building site (that I've experienced yet) is large enough to justify using them for moving spoil, and if you're moving spoil off site you're as well just using the half pipe trailer

I've only found using the large dumptrucks come in handy while doing the land development contract. A lot of spoil removal, as well as laying gravel. I used all four dump trucks at the same time to lay down the proper amount of gravel to complete the task.

Another idea, and purely an idea and not an expectation 😂 How about deminishing fuel state. Road going vehicles can refuel at gas stations
Plant machinery could be refuelled via a fuel bowser on site
