Everthing is real-time
At v1, everything in the game will be real-time.
If a 3d print (or any other machine or process) takes 1 hour in the real world, it will take 1 hour in the game. Flying to Mars with traditional propulsive rockets will take a whole 5 months at first!
By slowing things down to real-time, we force players to make critical decisions about what they want to do and plan accordingly. It also makes the game more accessible to people who don't have a lot of time to play, as they can set and forget some long-running process.
