No other construction simulation will let players decide how to use a Psycho-Gimp to get one over on rival property developers on Mars.

Constructor Plus will include 138 buildings to chose from (almost three times the amount seen in last year’s Constructor HD, which had just 43), with 17 worlds to approach (rather than the five worlds available in the last game) including the stunningly realised outer space worlds and all the weird hilarity they offer.

Meanwhile 65 new pre-built cities will be available across the map for players to jump into and expand upon, while the new Mission Mode brings 15 different story missions to play through, each containing a number of challenges and puzzles. Also brought to the table is a number of new modes and buildings including retail units, monuments, and casinos.

In a world first from an independent publisher, Constructor Plus will be offered to existing owners of the original Constructor HD at a loyalty discount price of a mere £10 as a thank you for their support, bringing franchise fans and long-term property empire builders this plethora of brand new content at a fraction of the full price. This offer will only be available for one month after launch, however, so fans of the game should jump in to the fun quickly.

“I’m really excited to be announcing our biggest Constructor title to date, with so much long-term playability and a ton of new content to get involved with,” said Mark Cale, CEO of System 3. “The 21 years from our first massively successful outing to this point have been an amazing journey and we wanted in particular to thank those players that have come all or some of that way with us – offering all this content for a tenner felt like the best way of doing that. I’m looking forward to announcing more details early in the new year.”

There are a multitude of new changes and additions to Constructor Plus over Constructor Classic and last year’s Constructor HD. Here is a short list of some of the new features.

• There are many new buildings and building options. Last year’s Constructor HD had 43 buildings you could build. Constructor Plus has 138.
• Constructor HD had 5 worlds to play in. Constructor Plus now has 17, including the stunning new Outer Space Worlds.
• The game now has 65 new levels of ‘PLAY’ options, which are pre-built cities for you to expand and work on. These 65 pre-built cities are across the range of world maps.
• You also have a Mission Mode. This is a story mode you work through in addition to your 65 pre-built city levels. These again are pre-built cities with a story line to work through with a number of challenges and puzzles to overcome.
• There are 15 different stories (missions) to play through. In addition to ‘Play’ and ‘Mission’ modes, we have kept in the original ‘Classic Constructor’. This time we have updated the game set up screens and game objectives to make it more intuitive.
• We have introduced a new business feature called Retail Units. Your retail units, which are mostly based on Skyscrapers, have the ability to earn monthly rent. More importantly, when placed correctly within your community of citizens, will also achieve ‘resident visits’. This is where city residents pay to visit your unit. This also includes your rival team’s residents. The most important feature is that they also unlock many benefits to your game by helping with tax, resident population management, loans and building zoning.
• In addition to retail units, we have also added Casinos. You can now build 3 different casinos. These again have the effect that they earn money from tenants from all teams. Each tenant has a percentage of what they could spend depending on the type of tenant and casino. See below for full description of how your casinos work and what residents will make you the most money from your casinos.
• In addition to retail units we have extended parks to Monuments. Again, the city will pay you a monthly fee for your monument, but again as a city attraction, resident’s pay to visit local monuments.
• Slow time down. You can now slow down time to allow multiple/complex tasks to be carried out in fewer days.
• Many enhancements have been made to improve how you use your gadgets. You now can use up to 4 sheds on your factories site to store extra materials. Just make sure the plot is big enough to build an extra 4 sheds on site.
• The auto repair kit has been tweaked so that if you put it into a house it lasts the life of the house. This means that if you plan a city block with just houses, putting this in to each house does away with the need of the repairman on that block. You will still need the repairmen to maintain your factories, retail units, monuments and parks as well as your Undesirables.
• We have introduced a new Undesirable building, Steptoe’s Yard. This is basically a dump, but the scavengers of the dump can go out and steal “free gadgets” and upgrades for your houses from your rivals. It also has the effect of upsetting a neighbourhood blocks as no tenant wants a dump on their city block.
• Auto replacement of dead tenants. Another new important feature is if you upgrade your tenant’s kitchen to the max you can now apply “auto replace” This means that once a tenant dies, the house will auto replace that tenant type subject to you having enough tenants available in your HQ.

Constructor Plus will be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC (Steam), and Mac OSX.
