Version 9.0 Extremely Powerful and Aggressive Xenon

I am a new player and I think I need a reality check. Every one of the posts on this subreddit has many folks complaining that the Xenon are too weak and that they're a non-factor, non-issue. This is my second playthrough where I am having the complete opposite experience. In fact, this second playthrough is worse than the first. This all happened very quickly, within the first 10-20 hours of IRL game time.

Hatikva's Choice I - completely wiped out. In fact, they own it now. All ARG/ANT sectors are under constant attack, factories constantly destroyed, any ship entering and exiting harassed to the point of non-viability. I have to completely avoid that side of the map. For some reason, those two factions decided to stop building military ships. Now they're overwhelmed, resource starved, and cannot build even if they wanted to. In contrast, HOP and PAR are swimming in capital ships. TEL/MIN are also armed to the teeth. I don't know how much longer that will last.

I guess I'm just trying to figure out if this is normal, or if I did something wrong. I just want to be able to continue to build my factories and eventually get a military to fight them back into their hellholes. FWIW - I am playing vanilla X4 with no DLC enabled. Thank you.

Activity Sharing - My Servers selections not being respected

Hello! Not quite sure how this is supposed to work but if I select "share my activity" and then below under "My Servers" I select the 1st and the 4th servers as "on" - I would expect to not see my activity displayed under my name in the 2nd and 3rd servers.

Except that those toggle switches do nothing whatsoever. Those settings are ignored. If I turn off the global "share my activity" slider, then there's a warning message below "My Servers" telling me those settings will be ignored. Which is fine. But when I turn sharing on, I'd expect those to filter which servers see what I'm doing.

For what its worth, I have stopped my activity when making the config changes, then started the activity again. So I'm not sure it has anything to do with something running while the changes are being made.

If this is a known issue, I apologize. I have the latest version of discord running on Windows 11

As you can see from the attached photos (sorry for the jumpscare), mold is growing on the inside and completely covers the filter. The compost itself is complete sludge. Its almost the consistency of resin. I'm completely lost as to what to do at this juncture. From what I read it seems like we may have added food that was too wet? We did the recommended dry cycle for over 2 days and nothing is helping.

Now - as an added bonus, the open button keeps blinking and making a noise, even though the sensor on the exterior is very clean. I feel like maybe at this point we just need to throw this out, completely clean the entire inside, and start over.

Any help? Thank you.
