00:00Hey Construction Simulator fans, and everyone planning to become one.
00:06Today we're taking a closer look at one of the most ambitious features we've ever built for the Construction Simulator
00:13series, Demolition.
00:18But first of all, thank you for your support and your patience.
00:22We know many of you have been waiting for this.
00:24We wanted to do it properly, with licensed machinery and attachments, a dedicated destruction system, and gameplay that still feels
00:33at home in a construction simulator.
00:36Because before you can build something new, you sometimes need to make room for it first.
00:41So, let's get to work.
00:47Today's contract takes us to Amber Falls, our US-inspired map.
00:52This old industrial site has seen better years for sure, right?
00:57It's time to make space for something new while preserving selected parts of the existing structure.
01:03The building, silos, and the chimney combine wooden elements, brick, concrete, and steel.
01:09And each material and structure calls for a different approach.
01:14Wood offers little resistance.
01:16Brick can be handled with several tools.
01:19Concrete needs considerably more persuasion.
01:22And steel gets its own special treatment.
01:29Before attacking the main structure, we need to get rid of some parts of the interior.
01:35The entrance is too restricted for our largest machines, so we start with a smaller excavator.
01:41It may not hit as hard, but it's absolutely suitable for the job.
01:47Steel elements are handled separately with a steel shear, which cuts through them instead of breaking them apart.
02:01With the inside prepared, we bring in the CAT 352, equipped with a hydraulic breaker.
02:07The breaker is especially effective against brick and concrete.
02:15Once its tip meets resistance, the hydraulic mechanism kicks in and delivers a rapid sequence of blows.
02:24Brick gives way comparatively quickly.
02:27Concrete, on the other hand, needs a little more convincing.
02:30So we must keep the breaker firmly engaged for longer before the material starts to crumble.
02:35As the surface takes more damage, it gradually breaks into smaller pieces, falls to the ground, and becomes rubble on
02:43the work site.
02:44Very tidy, in the broadest possible sense.
02:51For concrete columns, floor edges, and sections where we want more control, we can switch to a demolition shear.
02:58Instead of hammering the material, it bites through it piece by piece.
03:09Not every part requires specialist equipment, either.
03:13Wooden structures offer very little resistance, so an excavator bucket is often enough.
03:19And sometimes, the attachment you are already using gets the job done simply by pushing through.
03:25Plenty of tools can cause damage.
03:27The trick is choosing one that does it efficiently.
03:35Now, about that brick chimney.
03:38We could carefully work our way through it with an excavator.
03:41Or we could choose the slightly more dramatic option.
03:45Meet the Cinnaboggen 670E.
03:49And the attached wrecking ball.
03:52The wrecking ball causes heavy damage across a wide area, but the result depends on how you use it.
04:00For horizontal surfaces, we can raise the ball and release it vertically.
04:05Gravity handles the rest, usually with very little concern for the floor below.
04:13For a more controlled strike, we pull the ball toward the boom and release it at a specific point.
04:22Better accuracy, but less momentum.
04:29And then there is the classic full swing.
04:32It is harder to control, but with enough speed, it can remove large sections of brick or concrete in a
04:38single hit.
04:42Subtle? No.
04:44Effective? Very.
04:50And when a machine cannot reach a small or narrow section, the handheld demolition hammer lets us finish the job
04:57in first person.
05:04Demolition contracts still give you clear objectives and work steps.
05:08But within the active demolition area, the approach is up to you.
05:13You decide which side to start from, which machine to use, and whether you prefer precision or brute force.
05:24A larger machine may work faster, a smaller one may reach places the big equipment cannot, and sometimes the best
05:31method is simply the one you enjoy using most.
05:35As long as the required structure is gone at the end, we'll call that a successful day on site.
05:40That was our in-depth look at demolition and construction simulator Evolution.
05:46We hope you enjoyed it, and we cannot wait to see how you tackle these contracts yourself.

05:56Get to work.
