yor terrible to play as user

tried it with custom

regular procreation growth faster and assembly would be a lot of work and slow you down

assembly projects are expensive in beginning 0 growth

maybe make it based on productivity

so all we have to build is mfg plants

Their growth in the beginning is rough yes but end game they are brutal. Nothing like popping out fully loaded troop transports one turn at a time continuously. Something meatbags struggle to do short of megaplanets (20+) with nothing but farms. Yor can go it on a 10.

I agree with Ryat.  Yor can be hard to play in the early game but the get really strong later on.  Big plus us you need no farms so all planets effectively gain 3-5 tiles, HUGE advantage. 

My typical early game approach:

Home world - heavy manufacturing

Design & build  a colony ship yo use as a shuttle,   no life support, 2 colony modules fill with engines

Do assembly projects on home world and use the shuttle to move population to other planets

I agree I love playing synthetic races for the extra tiles couple that with vigilant to allow 18 overlapping starbases in the right conditions
