Scrap Mechanic Patch Machine
A patch is essentially a mod, like you are familiar with. However, a patch modifies the Scrap Mechanic executable, raw binary!
Some of the patches include an Offline Patch that allows you to play Scrap Mechanic offline, and a Dev Mode patch that allows mismatching dev modes when joining worlds.
(Only 2 patches, more to come)
Unless the functionality of the patch machine changes, not likely. New patches are released on GitHub, so simply by restarting the patch machine, allows the patch machine to fetch all available patches and load them for you!
(Yes there have been 4 updates, the latest of which has been fixed to work with 0.6)
A red patch means 1 of 2 things. Either the patch itself has not been tested on your current game version, so its not supported, or it means that your game version is not detected/supported.
If there was a recent update to the game, just be patient while the patches are updated for your version. If there was not a recent update, you made need to verify your files
