Yes.

You can add a racial trait that increases production. You can lower the cost of your ship costs. You can cheat.

But I would go with making a new racial trait that gives a bonus to construction or production.

A good point for modding is to add in a bunch of blank or place holder racial traits. Look at the Adamant or STM mods for more info. If you have say 40 "place holder" advanced racial traits, you wont have to worry about devalidating your emp files when you add a new racial trait. Doing it as I suggested is the best way. All you ahve to do when adding in a new advanced racial trait is to edit one of the place holders.
