[h2]Adjusted Placement Colliders:[/h2]
Resized and adjusted colliders on a very large number of objects & mechanics. This makes them easier to select, modify, place, etc… But may also impact the location of your currently saved tables. I apologize for the inconvenience and do not anticipate having to do this again in the future.

[h2]Important Notes:[/h2]
Due to some internal changes on how the level creator works, any previously saved levels/tables may no longer work as intended. The plunger will not load properly and objects may appear black. I hope that nothing like this ever happens again in the future, but bear with me as this is a work in progress and part of the reason why I have not looked into Steam Workshop and content sharing as of yet.
