You can also issue them contracts to move your installations around through the F2 window.

Be careful though, iirc the civilians can still scrap them and you lose all ships in their task group when they do so.

Maybe they'll move the occasional infrastructure on their own, but other than that everything has to be done manually by either using your own ships or giving them contracts that they sometimes don't do.

What are they even building all these freighters for? My colonies cannot support any more people and they don't seem to ship their own infrastructure. I guess I have to make it. Will they ship minerals automatically as well if, say, I want to build a factory on Mars that doesn't have enough of their own?
