What started in a reddit thread as a bit of a joke - https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comme ... ?context=3 - ended up with me spending an hour or 2 playing with the modding API.
Very simple mod that disables your ability to change the research queue. It'll randomly pick something for you when you start, once that's complete, it'll pick another one for you. It should only pick tech that you can research, but I haven't got past red and green science when I was testing it.
Researching 6 things before it picks automation for you can get rather frustrating
