So, I just bought the beta access for galactic civilizations 3 a few days ago, and have been working my way through my first game as the Altarian Resistance. The game has been going well (minus a few bugs here and there that other people have already mentioned, so I will skip them here), when I noticed one of my planets was getting rather low on approval rating. So after my current tech was done, I went into the Influence section of the tech tree and decided to research the Meditation technology, since it had useful approval buildings and would stave off my people's unhappiness for a while.
Unfortunately, the game will not allow me to click (and therefore upgrade) the meditation technology. I thought that maybe I had missed the pre-requisites for the tech, and checked back along the tech tree, but I have the techs xeno commerce, one point in commerce specialization (supportive populations), and both enjoyment and interstellar tourism unlocked. I know this because the game will allow me to research galactic cruise lines, which has the same pre-requisites as Meditation, but I can't unlock meditation. Checking back, I also realized that I was not getting the proper bonuses from the Interstellar tourism tech, as I am unable to build a zero g. arena or a stadium.
So, I appreciate any insight into what I might be doing wrong (if I am just messing something up), or I guess if this gets put into whatever list of beta bugs that needs to get sorted through. If this post is in the wrong section, I'll move it to where it needs to go.
Thanks!
