In Project Zomboid, I noticed that trees only change their seasonal appearance (green, autumn colors, bare trees, snowy trees) when I exit the game and load the save again.
Why does vegetation only update after reloading the world?
And is there any way (vanilla or modding) to make trees update their seasonal changes dynamically while playing, instead of only after restarting the game?
I am playing on version 42.13.1-42.13.2
