Quite the reverse: a few patches require the enabling of a particular mod to fully work.

These "minor" mods are usually included in the same package as the patcher, and are not advertised/distributed as stand-alone mods. The one exception to this rule is the patch making ships' radio equipment destructible. It requires FX Updates to work, but Fx Updates can still be used without the patch.
