Constructor Plus - Public Beta Branch UpdateFeb 14, 2020 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35057003/b0a331efda3ad5d045df2076294cef71688cad93.png Dear Constructor Plus fans, Before we start, we would like to thank everyone for their great feedback over the Christmas period as well as those who have continued to provide us with feedback regarding our public beta program. We are very happy to see that people are enjoying the changes being made to the game. We hope that you will enjoy the latest set of changes that should now be live for all to try on the s3public_beta build. By the way please bear in mind that because of some of these changes with new data being added to the saves, saves made whilst playing on the public beta branch will not load in the public build as it does not have the relevant data entries. Any saves made in the public build will still load into the new beta build as well as those made on the earlier beta build. Due to issues detected in the original s3_public beta build that have now been corrected in this build, we cannot in good conscience make the previous beta build live on the public branch as we had originally intended. If there are no serious issues detected with this latest build we will look to making it live on the default public branch next update. The public beta build is open to everyone who owns Constructor Plus to try out and there are no time restrictions or limitations in place so feel free to stay on that build if you prefer. For those of you who do not remember or know how to access the s3public_beta branch here is a nifty set of instructions: STEPS TO ACCESS PUBLIC BETA BRANCH 1. Right-click Constructor Plus in your Steam Library. A pop-up should appear. 2. Click “Properties”. A new window will open. 3. In the new window look at the top and you will see several tabs. Look for the tab that says “BETAS” and click on it. You will open the tab in the same window. 4. Look for a drop-down box and click on it. The drop-down should contain a new branch called s3public_beta. Click on it and your Steam client should begin downloading the new update. 5. If you wish to revert to the previous build repeat the above steps up until Step 4. In Step 4 instead of selecting s3public_beta please select “NONE – Opt out of all beta programs”. The previous build should begin downloading. Beta Update – 14/02/20 With our latest update we wanted to start to look towards the AI and ways we could add some new and interesting functionality whilst also addressing a few other key areas. We hope that this first wave of changes provides a more interesting experience for those of you who like to play with AI competitors. New Gameplay Option - Dog Bite Resistance Our newest opt-in gameplay option is Dog Bite Resistance. It is no secret that our beloved pooch is quite the super dog when it comes to dealing with all manner of undesirables and other ne’er-do-wells. With many of you coming to enjoy the missions and other gameplay that Constructor Plus has to offer we felt it the right time to make more fundamental c...Constructor Plus - Merry Christmas to our fansDec 20, 2019 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35057003/6945fb998d1928a0842db1288f68d7f23975df3f.jpg Well Constructor Plus fans, it is that time of year again when the Slob is busy trying to get the ice off his chip cooker, and the Professor is at it trying to invent a new more efficient method for heating his home. A time when we tell ourselves we are not going to eat our weight in Christmas food, but do so anyway because it is just too enticing. Oh, and of course that also means a time when the Steam Winter Sale is in full swing. That means for the duration of the sale we are happy to say that you may purchase Constructor Plus at 50% off its original price! Why not give the gift of hoodlums and mask-wearing psychopaths? Use the handy widget below to get started! https://store.steampowered.com/app/898800/Constructor_Plus/ We have to say to all our fans that we appreciate the reception we have received for Constructor Plus across each platform we support. It has been an immensely busy year for us folk at System 3 as we rolled out each version of the game. For some platforms this meant more time taken (Xbox One certification *grumble grumble*) but in the end we believe the proof is in the Christmas pudding as the saying goes… So thank you for your continued support, and most of all thank you for your patience and wonderful feedback. On the topic of feedback what good would this be without a new update for the game? We are happy to say that we do in fact have a new update for everyone to try out but unlike our earlier update we will be trialling it as a public beta branch. This means that whilst we believe there are no serious issues, we do not want to leave you with an unplayable build just before the holiday period! We would also greatly appreciate feedback on the changes. You will need to opt-in to this branch by following these steps: 1. Right-click Constructor Plus in your Steam Library. A pop-up should appear. 2. Click “Properties”. A new window will open. 3. In the new window look at the top and you will see several tabs. Look for the tab that says “BETAS” and click on it. You will open the tab in the same window. 4. Look for a drop-down box and click on it. The drop-down should contain a new branch called s3public_beta. Click on it and your Steam client should begin downloading the new update. 5. If you wish to revert to the previous build repeat the above steps up until Step 4. In Step 4 instead of selecting s3public_beta please select “NONE – Opt out of all beta programs”. The previous build should begin downloading. If there are any fans who speak other languages and wish to translate the above steps to their language please do so. In addition, we must make clear one point regarding multiplayer: The public beta build is NOT compatible with the default public release so if you opt-in and want to play with your friends please copy the above instructions on how to access the public beta and show it to them. Otherwise, if they attempt to join your lobby with the wrong ...Constructor Plus Loyalty Discount - Event ConcludedNov 8, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsThank you for your all your support. This event has now concluded. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35057003/b076245e46e59141fc33039d83868b2ca9929ddd.png Dear Constructor Fans, As a certain foreman once said, all good things must come to an end eventually. Of course, that was shortly before he gave his demolition plunger the ol’ plunge, as it were, and sent the Major’s house tumbling down into rubble and ruin. Therefore we thought it only right let you know in advance that next Friday the loyalty bundle pack will be ending. As many of you may recall, the loyalty bundle was our way of giving existing owners of Constructor HD, a way to purchase Constructor Plus at a reduced price. In short, it was our way of thanking our loyal fans for their ongoing support. Originally we said this bundle would only run for one month, but we decided to give fans additional time to make the decision and hence it has been live since the release of Constructor Plus back in May. As we move forward with our plans for Constructor Plus we have evaluated the necessity of the bundle and believe that previous owners who wanted to upgrade to Constructor Plus have long since done so. Therefore, we have decided to discontinue the bundle. Of course, we understand that there may be fans who originally never received the news, and we wouldn’t want them to miss out. Therefore, we are extending the offer for one final week until next Friday. If you've not already heard the word and don't know where to go, we've included a handy link direct to the bundle down below. Please note that this bundle is only for existing owners of Constructor HD who have not yet purchased Constructor Plus. We would like to extend our greatest thanks to the fans who have continued to support our work and we wish you a happy weekend. -System 3Constructor Plus - Bite-size Bits! UpdateJun 7, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/35057003/4d6e85f8cd64532a51516ed8ee4ce9e4f365dc03.jpg Dear Constructor fans, We would like to thank all the fans who have purchased Constructor Plus. We very much hope that the game has been an enjoyable experience for everyone thus far. We are working through the feedback we have received and where possible are making adjustments based on the feedback provided to us. For fans who are still getting used to the game we will be publishing at a later date a new YouTube channel called Constructor Central with various hints and tips to help improve your understanding of the game. This will supplement the existing tutorials and in-game hints that already exist. More on this at a later date as we are still in the early stages of putting things together. The focus of our first update is to address potential areas of confusion in the game based on the feedback received. The changes range from re-enabling saves in the tutorial to adding in detailed lists in several of the missions that require you to track lots of data. We hope that these changes will help in the long run with fans who are just dipping their toes into the world of Constructor. Patch Notes NEW FEATURES & CHANGES • All fences now visible at the beginning of the game and now show within the UI what unlocks them if not unlocked. • Added house level number to right-click pop-up. • Sloane Family now accept Zirconium and Tiffany Deco railings in place of Iron Railings. • Saving during the Tutorial is now allowed at certain points. • Increased push-scroll speeds whilst still retaining diagonal movement consistent with viewpoint. • Added in new Zombie & Cockroach names from Facebook & Steam suggestions. GENERAL FIXES • Gangsters will no longer attempt to fight decommissioned policemen if the gangsters are patrolling a building such as the Police Station. • Shortcuts will no longer trigger phantom button interactions. • Magistrate effects corrected so that prison sentences are affected as expected. • Prevent re-assignment of an undesirable who has recently been taken over until the enemy undesirable has returned home. MISSION FIXES • Tutorial no longer becomes stuck if you manufacture trees too quickly before the message telling you to manufacture trees appears. • Gangster's appearance during tutorial to stop takeover now scales with game speed to avoid problems on faster speeds. • Hippy party now lasts until you take over the house in the tutorial. THIS IS A TUTORIAL ONLY EFFECT. • Access is granted to estate manager during the tutorial if you build the cement yard so that it uses up all the available land in case the AI has no available land for you to use. • Fixin' You Up will now pass the appropriate stages if you kill Mr Fixit before he bodges your properties. • German localisation of Greener Pastures now matches English description in referencing goal of three casinos. • Add detailed checklists to mission descripions for Builde...Constructor Plus makes the fighty city-builder even wackierMay 28, 2019 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun While many city-building strategy games have rivalry between builders, it’s rarely as explicit–or as silly–as calling in a mafia favour to whack a gaffer, sending a ghost to haunt an estate, or unleashing yobs to terrorise residents by belching and tossing bins. Constructor earned a special place in my heart in 1997 with its eclectic take on city-building, and now it’s fancier than ever in the newly-released Constructor Plus. Following 2017’s straight remake, Constructor HD, Plus is now out as an expanded semi-sequel sorta thing. Yes, I think I would like to send giant mutant cockroaches to raid a rival’s Martian domehomes.

Some o’ those names were a little cheekier than we’d thought. Great suggestions everyone both on Steam and the Facebook group! It’ll take some time for the folks at the morgue to pick out their favourite names but once they’re done, we’ll knock out a new list and add them to the pool of names. I don’t expect you’ll know proper horror until you’re dealing with the likes of Nom Nom Nom the Zombie… Right then, I'm off for a bowl of bra- I mean grains. Yes… that’s what I meant. Wholesome delicious grains that are part of a nutritious breakfast and not brains which unlike grains are not an ideal breakfast item. Sincerely, No Really I Am Definitely Not A Zombie Directing Manager CSCHOGNG P.S. He might be a zombie… https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/35057003/17ff1d3e715f90fd22e9539406c87c2f8b199b8b.png Boo! Haha, always gets them… Right, so we at the local “Can’t stop coughin’ house of ghosts ‘n’ ghoulies” have a special offer for you the discerning fan. As the years pass on by, we’re finding ourselves up to our necks in cockroaches and zombies. It’s like they’re dying to get into our cemetery! For the next 24 hours we’re letting loose the crazy lot and we want to give you, the fans, an opportunity to have your specially named cockroach or zombie in the game for everyone else to kill, maim, or just plain tolerate until the sod totters off into the tube site. We encourage fans to come up with creative names, especially pun-related ones that keep with the theme of a cockroach or zombie. As much of a theme as they can possibly have... If you can only think of vulgar names, or insults, please do not suggest anything. We are trying to keep the game family friendly as it were! Well, as friendly as a game with a chainsaw wielding maniac can be! After 24 hours we will no longer accept any suggestions. We will then discuss the names and pick our favourites who will have their cockroach or zombie name (or both!) immortalised in the game as a permanent addition to the random pool of zombie and cockroach names. We accept one zombie name and one cockroach name per person so make them your best!

Constructor HD (2017) is not required to play the game, and the bundle would work out to be more expensive for you.

Further promotion will begin very soon. If you would like to know more please visit this thread. As you may recall, we said that loyal fans who own the 2017 version of Constructor will receive a discount on Constructor Plus. We had intended for this to be via coupons, but we have been advised by Steam that it is better to do this via the simpler “Loyalty Discount” bundle. This will become available once the game releases so do not fret if you cannot see it yet. Please note that this is ONLY intended for people who already own the 2017 version of Constructor. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/35057003/15403eb89986cee2af7e719a3a1fc6901ce95398.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/35057003/5087ccf3df941f1a9b74d88802473ce79344384f.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/35057003/15403eb89986cee2af7e719a3a1fc6901ce95398.png We hope that you are excited for the release of Constructor Plus and we look forward to seeing everyone experience all the new content that is on offer.
