Mafe Anti-Bloating Refactor for Districts

Description
LOAD ABOVE ALL FOR THIS TO WORK. This mod is Recommended for New Saves, or saves with any District built. Districts with "DistrictHeroBuffData" that were built before installing this mod wont see they buffs removed, that its why.

The Crimson Court and The Colour of Madness DLCs are required for this mod to work.

This mod revisits all of the base Game Districts, with the objetive to bring new life to them, and with the objetive to remove they most horrible issues: Save Bloating. What does this mean?
When you build a District that uses "DistrictHeroBuffData", those buffs are actually "attached" to the valid heroes they can reach (With a Save-Editing tool, you can see this behaviour). Those buffs arent cleared on heros death, and those buffs increase by a lot the total size of you save (On you HDD/SSD). Eventually, when a save becomes worth 20/30 MB, game cannot read it anymore.
This mod its aimed to fix that, but doesnt limit to it and also brings new changes to Districts, for a different experience.

Mod Features:
  • Reworked all the base game Districts: Now most of Districts spawn special "District Tokens" every week, on you Provision Screen. Those Tokens can be carried to a quest, so when used, they give the entire hero party different buffs until the quest ends.
  • Districts costs revisited: Districts now dont cost any Heirloom anymore. Instead, they just cost 1 Blueprint and a respectable amount of Gold, depending on what they do.
  • 13 new Districts, with 10 being added as other Mods Integrations! This mod features (ATM) natural compatibility with Monster Variety Proyect: Legacy, Trinkets Variety Proyect: Legacy and Cultist Simulator Trinkets. You DONT NEED those mods to being able to use this one, but those are very recommended.

Required Mods:
Mafe Extreme Provision Extender (M.E.P.E) : This mod makes a heavy use of extra Provisions. Witouth this one, you wont be able to even see the District Tokens due to how limited its Vanilla Provisions UI.

Recommended Mods Integrated on this one:
Trinket Variety Proyect: Legacy
Cultist Simulator Trinkets
Monster Variety Proyect: Legacy

is the reason for this not causing save bloat the fact it removes all those interactions like "W hero gets X, Y and Z buff" ? Thus you nor anyone else never released a version of anti-bloating districts + vanilla effects?

Would like that as well!

Can you upload a version without your balance changes and additions? Dont care for the changes and only want to reduce save bloat. Thanks.

is there any mod similar without the cost changes? i missed that bit when installing. ive screwed myself because now i cant purchase the sanguine vinters, i have 80 busts but no gold.

@seloka im pretty sure the changes are made to reduce bloating in the first place. Other than the change of cost.

I also just want to reduce the save bloat. Do you know if disabling and re-enabling the districts DLC helps?

Is it possible to revert the Cartographer's Camp as an optional mod? The nerfed cartographer feels much less worth the early investment even though bonus scouting is still a strong mechanic.
