Min terraform... Up to 5%
Factories... Up to 500
Mines... Up to 500
Max terraform... Up to 10%
While this default order is better than nothing and good for the very lazy ones, in many curcumstance it is suboptimal. It pays off to use a standard default order but to give each new planet a look and adjust it in dependence of the planet and your race design.
So the actual default order I am using is the following:
Factories... Up to 200
Mines... Up to 200
Max terraform... Up to 1%
Well, of course these Default Qs are suboptimal and need many tweaks!  Don't be lazy and design & testbed a proper Default Q that suits your race, your playstyle and your development needs.  If you cannot handle all planets with just a single Q due to varying needs, then use other predefined Qs, equally designed & tested before the actual game.  Remember, with effort comes the reward, in this case the ability to waste less time on easily automatable tasks and instead devote your wits to crushing your undeserving enemies. 
Remember also that "auto" never builds above the needs of current pop, so no worries with pop holds either. And of course it's easy to intersperse more urgent orders in between the "auto" ones, which will still be there the next turn when the urgent ones are done. 
Last but not least, in an AI thread, it makes sense to build Defenses, either as a reminder or as an alternative to dodging packets. 
So many Stars, so few Missiles!
