Draft: Ready for Maintainer Edits

[Xelvanta]

This pull request refactors code, updates logic to use best practices, and is ready for review and edits by maintainers.

Key Notes:

• Be sure to add the missing files from your original main branch.
• I've enabled the "Allow edits by maintainers" option, so you can push directly to this branch to address any issues, make adjustments, or resolve conflicts as needed.
• Please feel free to make edits directly if that simplifies the workflow.
• Feel free to add back lines 246-346. If you do this, do not pull the Localization.cs file. (You can just delete it from the refactor/optimize-and-remove branch)

Thank you!
