eternal season and properly selecting your intended starting season seems non-functional at current

[fuckthatshit]

PLEASE NOTE: there is a huge amount of information regarding this issue available at:

please give it a read through before responding to insure you're up to speed, thanks.

Describe the bug

just can't find a way to start in the desired season with (probably without as well, haven't tried however) eternal season enabled to put it simply, tried messing with the starting day, tried messing with season length.

Steps To Reproduce

set eternal season to true, adjust settings to try and get the season you're after (in this case winter was desired) and observe that seemingly no matter the starting day and season length you will be placed into a seemingly random starting season.

Expected behavior

if you set season length to a given number and then the starting day to another (corresponding) certain number, you should be placed in the appropriate season.
for instance, if you set season length to 4 days and tell the game you would like to start on day 16 (maybe 17 depending on how it's counted) you should start in winter.
if you set it to 100 day seasons and started on either day 400 or 401 you should also start in winter.

Additional context

i recall at one point it was possible to explicitly set the intended starting season while using the eternal seasons option, this may be desireable again as a fix.
before the crash happens. -->

i guess this needs to be tested with no mods loaded? i'll give that a go now.
