Not the only option. And are you really arguing that making bricks out of martian concrete, making mortar, stacking them, and the spraying it with a non In situ foam is somehow the same or less resource dependent as printing martian concrete in a layered shape?

Lets actually talk about the futureof habitats on mars. Here is the normie video about the final competition.

Outside of the test in the video they did throw projectiles at them as well. The competition was in 3 stages.
Phase 1: the design competition

Phase 2: Structural Member Competition

Phase 3: On-Site Habitat Competition

These competitions have Already tested designs, material science and building processes. The competition is also supposed to continue on in the future.
It is important to realize this is theory testing and research so none of these designs would be the final product. However these competitions are fleshing out serious questions to our rapidly approaching future.
The top two of the final round were:
Penn State who came in second in the materials competition and second in the on-site competition.

We are about 3 years from starting our material staging of mars, we must discuss this.

The composite material was supposedly blocking of radiation and the penn state design was counting on regolith thickness. The competition was to drum up design ideas and test what shapes worked well with the 3d printer. I doubt that'll be close to the final design but you can bet on NASA using printed habitats.
