The lone programmer can not input a limitless amount of techs so that the research facilities are totally useful throughout the entirety of 'raynor's' game.
This is an essentially false statement.
It is extremely easy to add a very small number of extremely expensive research projects which produce identically featured components which are smaller than the originals. If the cost for each project is exponentially more expensive, certainly, it will be possible to eventually research them all. But if the cost of these 'Advanced' technologies is ten times as much as all the other technologies in the game combined, I would argue that you are 'approaching' limitless technology.
(And yes, I'm gonna create these myself--with the help of awesome folks like SunDevil, Tampa_Gamer, etc who are amazingly willing to help folks like me create weird stuff. Just gotta finish my formation editor, then the component editor, then...)
