The picture, that formed in my head of this was a hole that needs to be feed. No idea how and why that hole existed, but the point is: at first it is like an endless chest, and you can feed things into it from 4 sides only. But the hunger of the hole grows and at some point it is higher than you ca...

Indeed, but it's very combat focused. If I understand OP's request, the desired scenario would be an ever increasing supply challenge. Yes that's kinda the idea, just to make it kinda like tetris, you will get a score but the blocks just keep on going. How far can you reach. If you can reach the en...

So give us a growing volcano that can be slowed down using a liquid from those white bottles

That sounds like a awesome idea. Except you don't get white bottles until endgame, this would start early and never stop forcing you to grow with that demand.

Infinite research being infinite, there is a 100% guarantee that you'll need to get arbitrarily far to get enough resource before you've seen the end of it. For that, an unlimited amount of biter nests will have to be cleared. Also in doing so, you'll produce an arbitrarily large amount of pollutio...

Well as the infinite research infinitely grows in science (therefore resource) requirements, the demand is ever increasing. I assumed this would be enough of "always more" demand. That is still not the point, if you play supply challenge, you will from start, have something to work on fas...

Like "max out all infinite research" ? That would not force you to explore, and it would not have interval. What is going to kill you while you take your time to research. Making you have to find new input locations to insert more supply, and the bigger the input location, the more under ...

TL;DR Kinda like supply challenge, except it would only be one material that you would constantly have to gather and just in bigger and bigger quantity. Forcing you to make bigger and bigger supply of the demand. What ? Simply it would be some kinda of a 'feed the beast'. You have some mouth or a b...
