Tree colors in Fall/Autumn--are they random? [Answer: Sorta]
Yes, I'm in a fiddling around sort of mood, messing with crap like I know what I'm doing. I made some tree default retextures, but noticed that when the trees start losing their leaves during the Fall/Autumn the colors change--usually to bright AF neon orange/yellow/red/etc. But I don't WANT mine to change color -- or at least not those colors.
I'm looking around for the texture files I assumed would be somewhere in the SSNS texture files (where the winter textures are), or the fullbuild/deltabuild files, but am I blind? Cuz I'm not seeing them??
The winter tree textures are naked and all-white from snow-cover, but I'm not seeing their neon yellow/red/orange fall colors anywhere.
Does anyone know where the file is that affects fall/autumn tree colors?
(ISTG if it's another color ramp file....)

So what the game does, is it picks up the white textures of the trees. Then a shader basically assignes the colour that it needs to have. Or it uses the actual tree textures but saturates it to an more autumn-y colour. So kind of like photoshopping inside the game :p
So what I'd do is just change the contrast on a tree that happens to have this brightness going on. And check that on both the actual diffuse texture or the winter textures with the white tree.
