Update 14.9 alpha

One of the improvements in this update is changing the placement distance of wall furniture and other objects. Unfortunately, already installed elements will not change their position, you will have to disassemble and reinstall them to get the correct position.

Update 14.6 alpha

To avoid errors in saving the game, it was decided to move the game saves to the Windows system folder. The saves will be automatically transferred to the new folder, the old ones will be renamed to Saves Backup, which can be deleted if the new folder is created and the saves are loaded. New save address:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\LocalLow\DDDimanN\Zompiercer\Saves
