"remote production colonies" = colonies with IUs and IAs that have a positive manufacturing capacity. If you don't issue orders for them to produce anything, they will produce EUs, right? Which can then be spent anywhere, right?

That is incorrect. If you have imbalanced planet, you will either have idle production capacity or unprocessed RMs.

Alternatively, if you have a planet where it is easy to run mines, but not to run production, you can set up NO manufacturing and make them "mining colonies" which convert the RMs they produce into EUs -- at a significant penalty.

Actually, mining colony is more effective than normal colony in terms of EU output, but at a cost of increasing mining difficulty.
