Xenon energy infrastructure

[Valinir]

Hey

in the last few days i played around modding/adding sectors to game and so on, and i found something curios that someone hopefully can help me to understand.

The xenon need ore/silicon and energy cells for their ships and i found it interesting that in the most of their sectors they don’t have a energy cells production from the start, even in vanilla sectors.
Is that on purpose, so that they need to build some before they can start to build more ships? or when not how do they get energy cells at all?

When I see that correct in the game files, they first xenon energy cell station, that spawn of the beginning of a game, where introduced with cradle of humanity so how did they get energy cells before that?
They only have the small xenon station but they don’t produce energy cells.

So yeah hopefully someone can explain that to me, what im missing there.
