It just a glitch, one of many small annoying glitches. That exist and most likely never get fixed.
Pick up the machines and replace. Or knock a hole in the wall, big enough to stop the room being a room. Then rebuild.
The fix is actually being worked on, it just wasn't ready for 9.5.1.
Any advice would be server specific because each has different rules about how groups of friends interaction. I've played on servers that didn't have any rules and I've played on some that forced friends to sign up as a company through a mod they included on the server.
Each server may have different needs if you choose to join late (after day 2 or so) but generally you can always play what you want just be prepared to compete with other players. Professions that complement mining would be smelting, basic engineering, mason, or mechanics. You don't necessarily need to complement each other though because on a server all roles will be filled by someone. If you want to optimize though, any profession that uses rocks or metal is a given.
I smell White-Tiger there, lol.

Because I was taking a screenshot i see it said "yum" https://i.imgur.com/qP8JPw8.png But between my backpack open and the background, it's really hard to see it.
I just wish the news feed was useful, can we combine the ecolog and newsfeed and make it stay 100% all the time?
Also why do you have to do a couple clicks to go to the ecolog, and instead of staying as a tab, it hides again and you have to do the couple clicks again. why ;_; If at least the ecolog could stay as a regular chat tab, i think that would offset some of my issues .
Also the chat, I wish we could hide it and make it only pop up when someone added a new message and then fade after a couple seconds.
The Hold Control to stick the panels was great, too bad it was removed, now when you hold for a sec it's great, but half the time doesnt ...
What do you mean with "Eco Log"?
The main feedback was that the notifications were much too annoying and intrusive, which is why the Newsfeed is hidden after news were displayed. (In the way you suggest for chat)
The chat behaviour of that way you should be able to achieve with transparency mode?
Holding CTRL for Tooltips still works, it wasn't removed. I used it just half an hour ago?
You can spawn one and hover over it to check where it is.
When you eat a food item, a text pops up over it, telling you how it tasted. Is this something that didn't happen for you or just something you didn't notice? In playtesting this worked quite well, but we can make changes to it, if it's not as obvious as we thought.
