Mostly AI Generated

I thought I would test how well AI can write a mod. I used Azumatt Template and GPT 5.4 (Med). It's a bit iffy, but if you burn enough tokens you can get something that works okay. I optimized it and profiled it. If I wrote this mod without AI, it might be better at the performance on the patches. Right now, it's just okay. This is not a hard mod to make, however the ice cave murals are challenging to target unlike RuneStones.

The AI did have a bit of problem with ServerSync and LocalizationManager which I fixed. I am not going to start writing a lot of AI mods, but this was a fun experiment to see how well it can do and it took at lot less time.
