Interesting. So how are you handling offline time for the solo game? Obviously, a huge part of SoH is waiting for processes to tick down, resources to tick up and spaceships and buildings to be built. Cities will probably need to keep producing and shipyards need to keep churning even when the player shuts down his computer, otherwise it creates an unreasonable demand...on his electricity bill, for a start!
But a simple system where the process delivers its results on the target date, whether the game is loaded or not, is probably not enough, as processes need to repeat as well as just finish, populations need to grow etc. You probably have a solution implemented already, I'm just curious what it might be!
