Since we have settlements and it may take some time for them to get running, how about able to wait longer than 24 hours at a time?

I could see the appeal. Once you get caps coming in from a few settlements, wait a few months and make a killing. That would make the game kinda easy tho. I personally wouldn't use it, so it doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

Or you know, you could go do side quest to pass the time...plus I doubt the growth rate is that slow.
