Current task flow

Start at the Employment Office or the local City Engineer marker. City Engineer includes Road Construction and House Construction tasks.

Road Construction uses the assigned work sequence and provides Forklift and Cement Truck spawners. House Construction uses object placement and marking controls. Completing Road Construction adds 2 Progress and Earnings units; completing House Construction adds 1.

After completing the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle course, /uav can be used during House Construction.

Starting a road call

Open Road Construction, choose Take a call, and follow the route. Use X on marked positions for roadblocks, clear the boulder, and use the Forklift to load rocks into the dumper. After filling the hole, wait for the cement to dry, then use X on the roadblocks to remove them and finish. Press O for the current objectives.

Task panel and cement key

Use /tasks or F5 to open the City Engineer Job panel, which has Road Construction, House Construction, and Settings tabs. The Settings tab holds exactly three controls:

• Set current objectives key (Default 'O') - the key that shows your current objectives.
• Set key to mark house objects - the house construction marking key, None until you set one.
• Automatically start the same mission after I get paid - a checkbox that restarts the mission.

Cement unloading is configured separately: open /sbinds or /settings > Binds and find Cement Release Key under Job / Activity Binds. It defaults to N and releases cement from the Cement Truck during City Engineer Road Construction, rather than being a control in the job panel's Settings tab.

Construction totals and progress

Each house requires 47 objects, shown by Objects built: <n>/47. Road Construction requires 6 rocks, tracked by Loaded rocks: <n>/6. Levels use Progress: Road Construction gives 2 per completed task and House Construction gives 1.
