Started a game as Vaulters, newbie difficulty. Everything takes 25 or more turns to build. I guess the production of my city is low. How do i raise it? I see a geothermal pit right next to my city, it is on the hex on my city border. How do i aquire it? Thanks.

The geothermal pits you see are an anomaly. They provide small bonuses to the terrain, so to gain those bonuses you need to have a part of your city either on top of it or right next to it. 

Cities gain the FIDSI (food, industry, science, dust and influence) of the terrain they are on top of or right next to. 

As for the production, you are correct in that it is low. When you have your city selected it shows a grid where you can choose what FIDSI resource your citizens will produce. Drag them to the industry slot to increase your industrial output.

Another way to get more industry is by building impovements. In the technology screen you can research a tech that increases your industry (I think it is called mill foundry). Research the technology and build the improvement in your city to increase your industry production. 

I'm glad to see new players, EL is kind of hard to get into so feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks, i founded a new city with more industry and build time is ok now. Just a bad start for my first city i guess. I had to buy the stuff i needed.

You can also assign citizens to work all the differnet FIDSI. You can use that to help a city if it's weak in a FIDSI you need.
