I am confused on the whole 'demo' part of the game file, will this game have limited content for people that don't pay? Or will the game be divided into a 'public' and 'Patreon' version? I do not really mind, but I would love to know.

My current understanding is that the demo is going to get one more content update before the dev switches focus to releasing WIP builds that are exclusive to supporters on subscribestar.
I don't think Finchy has decided yet if there will be more free content updates or not. And if there will be updates I don't think it's been decided how those updates will work, whether they will lag behind the paid builds or what.
All that being said, there will always be some content that is exclusive to the substar because the rift pack DLC is on substar with exclusive content that can't be on the itch page either because of copyright or content guidelines.
WhiteWhale is correct.
The next update, coming out this week, will be the last update to the demo (beyond bug fixes) for a while, but I'll also be pushing out the first WIP build for SubscribeStar supporters, a short while after. That version will continue to get regular updates.
As for additional free content, once I've finished adding several new major regions, my plan is to go back and add some of that content to the demo, up to a certain point. Hope this clarifies things!
Hi, no plans to make a Patreon at the moment, as they have slightly stricter rules on what type of content can be posted there. We'll see in the future, though.
As for SubscribeStar, if the ID is stopping you, I've heard online that if you make an account while using a VPN you can bypass having to use an ID at all. Not sure if it's true, but it might be worth trying!
