We've set up a channel on our Discord server for you to share your thoughts about Go Green.
We encourage you to share any bugs you find in the game with us through the bug-report channel on Discord, Steam Discussions, and in-game.

Big Update: Go Green (ContractVille 0.2 Release)

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

With this major update, we are presenting the Go Green App to you. 6 New mission types and their rewards; such as tool skins, gemstones, trophies, and cabinets where you can display them. Sculptures, Go Green t-shirt, the trailer and trolley you really wanted, and much more!
Additionally, this update includes 3 new mail missions, 9 new contract missions, over 250 new furniture items, foods and beverages, optimization improvements, and environmental arrangements.
Don't forget to follow our game on our Steam Store Page to stay updated on future updates.


Welcome to the Go Green!
ContractVille's Go Green update brings you 6 different mission types to save the environment.

[h3]Go Green App[/h3]

You will be able to take all missions through the Go Green App on your tablet. You will earn XP from each mission and with the XP you earn, you will complete the Go Green Progress and reach the rewards.
Remember that you can do Go Green missions as many times as you want!

[h3]Achivements![/h3]
We've added new achievements exclusive to Go Green, which you can view in the “Achievements” section on Steam and in your in-game profile, which you can access from your tablet.





  1. [h2]Public Awareness Campaign[/h2]
    [h3]Get the city ready for a green revolution! Put up posters, talk to NPCs, and spread your message everywhere. Raise environmental awareness and become the city's hero![/h3]
    There will be NPCs waiting for you in various areas of the city. Inform them about environmental pollution. For example did you know that a single plastic bottle can take up to 450 years to decompose?
    Some of them may snub you and not want to talk to you. But remember, even if one person changes, the world changes.
    To reach more people, you will be able to put up posters in certain areas of the city and advertise on certain vehicles in the city!


    [h3]Talk To People[/h3] [h3]Hang Posters[/h3] [h3]Advertise On Vehicles[/h3]


  2. [h2]Green City Initiative[/h2]
    [h3]Get ready to get your hands dirty with dirt! Plant seeds, grow trees, and turn the city green. Make sure you have a tree to help the city grow![/h3]
    In this mission, you’ll have new items at your disposal to help green the city: Fertilizer, Gravel, Seed, Soil, Pot, Watering Can, Seedling, Pesticide, and Tree. With your shovel in hand and a little elbow grease, you’ll transform the urban landscape into a thriving green space. Every tree you plant and nurture is a step toward a greener, healthier city. So dig in, get your hands dirty, and watch as your hard work brings nature back to life!

    [h3]Plant Seeds[/h3] [h3]Plant Trees[/h3] [h3]Plant Seedlings[/h3]


  3. [h2]Volunteer For A Clean Future[/h2]
    [h3]Take on the challenge of cleaning up after the city's biggest events![/h3]
    In this mission we add concert, outdoor market, skating tournament, drive-in cinema, beach party and nightclub venues! Your mission is to rid these dirty spots of trash. Join the volunteer team and make sure the fun doesn't leave a mess behind!




  4. [h2]Forest Revival[/h2]
    [h3]Venture into the forests and become a true guardian of nature! Rescue animals trapped in litter, clean up the wilderness, and restore the natural beauty of the forests. This is your chance to witness the wonders of nature as you bring life back to the wild![/h3]
    To succeed in this mission, your goal is to rescue animals from the filth choking their natural habitat. These poor creatures may be trapped in piles of garbage, struggling to survive. People may have thrown broken and old furnitures into their natural habitat. It is up to you to save them from the clutches of pollution and the cruelty of those who desecrate nature.




  5. [h2]Justice For Nature[/h2]
    [h3]Arm yourself with the sword of justice to protect nature! Face off with vandals, defend the environment, and become a hero who saves nature. Stop the bad guys and save the earth![/h3]
    To complete this mission, you'll need to give those vandals a good slap to teach them a lesson! Some will run away in fear, while others might try to fight back and stun you. But stay strong—remember, you’ve got the power of justice on your side, and no one can stand in your way! Keep going, and show them who’s boss! Don't forget to photograph them and send them over to the police to guarantee justice!




  6. [h2]Clean Water Campaign[/h2]
    [h3]Bring cleanliness to the waters and become a hero! Clean the rivers, build water mills, and use the power of water to protect nature. Be the guardian of clean water and protect the future![/h3]
    In this mission, you must first clean up the garbage on the riverbank. Then you will build a water mill!
    We have added new items for you to build it. These are Main Post, Alternator, Wooden Beam, Wooden Planks, Water Mill Wheel, Cog Wheel and Electric Box.

Feast Your Eyes: Yummy Update!


We’re thrilled to introduce 17 delicious new food and drink items to ContractVille! These consumables not only satisfy your in-game cravings but also provide special bonuses to enhance your construction skills. To make the game even more fun and humorous, we've added some entertaining effects like burping and farting sounds and funny animations. Here’s a rundown of the new items and what they do:

Environmental Arrangements


Now you will see more trees in the city! A greener Creek Harbour awaits you with the landscaping we've done. Green grass, stones, rocks and more... We've compared the new look with the old look and see the difference with your own eyes!


This would have been a good fit for the Go Green upgrade. Nevertheless, optimization is likely to be a worry of yours. If we come to that topic...

Optimization Improvements


We knew how important this issue was and how much you were complaining about it, so we've been working on it for a while and finally managed to make the optimization more stabilized.
We made a Before/After comparison for you and achieved the same success in many locations with our FPS test. You can see the images below for example.

Contractville 0.0.9 Update

Hello contractors!


We've fixed a lot of bugs in this update thanks to your bug reports, and we'd like to thank you for your support during our early access period. We hope you'll continue to support us and before we get to the update notes...

We invite everyone to our Discord server. Today at 17:00 (GMT+0), we will share an announcement with you on our Discord server. We have a surprise for you. We are sharing the link to our Discord server so that you don't miss this and future surprises.


[h2]Sleep Wherever You Want![/h2]
[h3]New Feature![/h3]
Added the ability to sleep on all purchased beds and we removed the existing fixed beds so you can arrange your office room however you like!

[h2]Updates to the Planner[/h2]
[h3]New Feature![/h3]
[h3]Building Plans with the New System[/h3]
With the new system, you can now easily save and load building plans.
  • Automatically saves every 5 minutes in the background. It also autosaves when you complete the planning. The number of autosaves is limited to 5. Apart from this, manual save feature has been added. The number of manual saves is unlimited.
  • Your saves in Planner are not specific to your world. When you join another world, you can use your previously saved plans.
  • Plans will be parcel size specific. (For example, if it is a small plot plan, you can only see your save when planning on small plots).
  • If you plan a 5-story house and want to use your saved plan while working on a 3-story house, it will load the first 3 floors of the 5 floors on your plan.
You can also share this file with your friends. To find your save files, you can copy this: %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\ContractVille\Saved\SaveGames
Then paste it in the file explorer.
Press enter and the folder with your save files should be opened.
