I haven't tried to compose anything microtonal in years so I probably just forgot what I'm doing, but I can't figure out how to make the notes go consistently up and down instead of jumping down in random parts.

I think you want 2 things
1) micro-tuning
2) dynamic-changes
That is not a feature in zasfx, but it is worse that that..
Zasfx Microtuning values are not preserved!
They are never written into the project-file!
What you instead can do is to use PITCH with extreme large span of 64.
You will be able to microtune inside what is audible for humans
I long ago made a vid on the procedure:
