So can machines join the spiritualists?

They can, but they can't become the federation leader under normal circumstances. (They can if they're the only option, for example.)

Do you think the Open Beta concept is beneficial enough to be used more frequently for Custodian Updates?
The concept is clearly welcomed by the community, but obviously comes with a lot of overhead on your end.

Yes.

I already have a plan for the next one. (Though it'll be smaller in scope than the Combat open beta.)

So Divinity of Life are more likely to be passed (if ethics are chosen totally randomly, and develop at roughly the same speed). Will materialists gain bonus voting weights on their agendas in a later patch?

Materialists already have an indirect bonus to diplomatic weight since Technology is a major part of the base diplo weight calculation.
