After looking in Ship Calculator V 0.0.55
The Solarian-Calulator says the colonist growth rate only depend on the
star heat.

Witch raise a new question, does city and lack of food reduce their
growth rate ?

Yes, both will reduce their grow.

Another yes.

I've run lots of sims (as I'm currently playing Solorian).

All the star heat is used for is to calculate the base rate. All
modifiers to that base rate (Food, Cities, TCs,, etc), are the same as
every other race.

The starheat requirement and the need for food force the Solorian to
spread their population into multiple clusters, using the high temp
planets as hubs with the surrounding worlds shipping Food to the hubs
(requiring ships to transport every pod).

This makes their territories much more vulnerable to Raids.

As an additional side note, the need to use ships to transport pods
makes the Solorian an extremely micro-intensive race.
