Construction speed and population size

[derb]

In other games your population has a base construction ability and so do your factories. So you can use a small pop to build a factory then use both to build the next factory and so on. But it means if you start with a very small population it is going to take a long time to build that first factory. Having to have a minimum pop to "service" a factory also makes sense. Any chance this will be implemented, do you think? Is it something that can be easily done using the customisability of the game?
