MS/Asobo have already stated they’re working on seasons, but want to do it right. So not just switching trees, but having different satellite imagery for different seasons, so you’ll have germinating fields in spring, and fields ready for harvest in fall.
That’s why it’s taking them so long. And with the power of Blackshark AI and the Azure cloud behind it, I’m sure they will pull it off.
In the meantime, we have mods like REX accuseason / Bijans seasons to hold us over.
