3.12.2 "Andromeda" Steam Open Beta

by Eladrin

Hello everybody!

The 3.12.1 "Andromeda" release with The Machine Age has gone well, but we have some more bugfixes and stability improvements that didn't quite make it into the release version.

Since this is a holiday-shortened week in Sweden, we won't be releasing these to the live build until next Thursday. In the interim I've asked the team to put up a Steam Open Beta using the stellaris_test branch with the following changes:

Fixed weapon and strike craft range calculations in ship behavior.
If an active relic gets removed the relic cooldown is now reset.
The paradox titan will now appear correctly in the ship view
Updated Resort Workers, Clerks and Cyberdome Spectators to have trade preference for auto-modding
Uplifted species will now always have their required traits

Stability

There may be a few more fixes in next week's release, but we wanted you to get these stability fixes as quickly as possible.
