The mugwump philosophy is iterative. According to the developer’s public notes, v1.2.0 (codenamed "Heretic") will introduce:
There are no plans for monetization. No Patreon. No "early access." The mugwump does not sell influence.
Version 1.1.0 isn't just for players; it offers better API hooks for other modders. mugwump has standardized how third-party mods can call upon Clean Slate to reset their own specific states. This means future mods can build "Clean Slate Compatibility" directly into their uninstall processes. Clean Slate -v1.1.0- -mugwump-
Clean Slate v1.1.0 (release -mugwump-) is a utility/reset tool designed to remove temporary data, user-specific preferences, or generated assets from a target environment, returning it to a known "clean" baseline. The mugwump suffix typically denotes a specific stable build or themed variant (often associated with independent or community-driven projects).

In the sprawling ecosystem of community-driven modifications and indie game overhauls, few names carry the weight of quiet, deliberate revolution. Clean Slate -v1.1.0- -mugwump- is not merely an update; it is a manifesto. Released in late autumn of this year, this iteration of the beloved "Clean Slate" framework redefines what players expect from a total conversion mod.
The term "mugwump"—an old colloquialism for a self-styled independent or a person who sits on the fence with their mug on one side and their wump on the other—is central to the philosophy here. Unlike aggressive overhauls that force a new vision upon the player, Clean Slate -v1.1.0- -mugwump- acts as a benevolent arbiter. It strips away bloat, resets unbalanced mechanics, and provides a foundation so neutral that it becomes the ultimate canvas for creativity. There are no plans for monetization
Whether you are a veteran modder looking for a stable baseline or a player frustrated by feature creep, version 1.1.0—dubbed "mugwump"—is your second chance.
