Download doesnt work

[MisterE123]

Describe the bug
Some of us don't know how to use git commands. Downloading the game from the Github download page gives lots of folders with no lua code in them

To Reproduce
If known, steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. go to the main page https://github.com/Gerold55/WasteLands_Survival
2. click on code
3. click on zip
4. extract zip to games folder
5. the game is extracted, but the zip file and the resulting game generates errors because there are no init.lua files in any of the mods

Expected behavior
I expected to be able to download the game from the github page, extract, and install it

Additional context
I would suggest, if nothing else, compressing the game as a zip, then uploading the zip to github. Yes, it will be double compressed, and yes, there are extra steps involved for downloaders, but its better than getting no game at all. Better yet, figure out how to make the game include the files in the download. I have seen it done before, but am unsure of how...

You can download the full code from the releases page

At the moment the only way to get the updated version of the game is via releases. Since the game is constantly getting updates we use the GitHub as the dev version and have people download from releases atm
