Construction Simulator 2015: Liebherr A 918 is a vehicle-focused expansion for the construction simulation game on PC. It adds three licensed Liebherr machines and three new contracts that expand the available building projects without altering the core systems of the base title.
Gameplay
Players operate heavy construction equipment in a detailed environment where each machine handles according to its real-world counterpart. The wheeled excavator excels at mobility between sites while the crawler excavator provides stability on rough terrain. The fast-erecting crane allows precise placement of structural elements at height. Contracts require transporting materials, digging foundations, and assembling buildings such as single-family homes, apartment blocks, and office structures. Progress involves earning money from completed work to purchase additional equipment and hiring personnel to assist with tasks. Experience points accumulate from missions, advancing the player through company levels that unlock further opportunities.
Controls emphasize realistic operation, including proper positioning to avoid tipping and accurate use of attachments for excavation or lifting. The open world setting lets players travel between job sites, with fast travel available once locations are discovered. Management elements include monitoring finances, maintaining the motor pool, and tracking worker performance.
Game Modes
Single-player mode centers on a career progression where individuals complete contracts at their own pace, starting from basic tutorials and advancing to larger projects. Multiplayer supports up to four participants who can join the same session to work on shared or individual contracts simultaneously. Friends without the expansion can participate in multiplayer sessions, though they cannot access the new vehicles or start the added contracts themselves.
Both modes draw from the same pool of missions and vehicle handling, with no separate competitive or versus formats. The expansion integrates directly into existing save files once installed, placing the new machines at the dealer for purchase with in-game funds.
Expansion Content
The Liebherr A 918 wheeled excavator, L1 fast-erecting crane, and R 956 crawler excavator join the existing fleet after download. These machines appear at the vehicle dealer and require sufficient company funds to acquire. Three new contracts become available through the jobs menu, each tailored to different building types and designed to showcase the capabilities of the added equipment. The content remains optional; the base game continues unchanged for players who skip the purchase.
Is It Worth Playing?
This expansion suits players already invested in the main Construction Simulator 2015 who want additional machinery variety and fresh contracts. The new vehicles receive positive feedback for their handling and visual fidelity in available reviews. Multiplayer remains accessible to groups even if not everyone owns the DLC. Those seeking a focused construction experience with licensed equipment will find the additions worthwhile, while newcomers should begin with the base game to understand the full career and management systems first. The title continues to run on current PC hardware with no reported discontinuation of support.
