Weather System and Seasonal Changes

Multiplayer Hosting and Joining
A host can create a server, set a player limit up to 250 trees, and optionally require a password or make the lobby private. Public servers appear in a lobby list for easy discovery.
Players join via the server browser, direct invites, or the Steam overlay. Text‑based chat is provided, while voice chat is not built in; external services like Discord are suggested.
- Use passwords for private sessions to control access.
- Rely on Discord or Steam chat for voice communication.

Third‑Person Camera View
The game employs a third‑person camera that follows your tree, allowing you to stretch roots and move while keeping the avatar in view. This perspective supports both exploration and visual appreciation.
Windowed mode is available, though it may exhibit minor quirks, and ultra‑wide monitor support expands the field of view for broader scenery.
