Conjure items from nothingness using energy and a bit of magic. Or sufficiently advanced technology, who really knows?
Mods introducing new content into the game.
Augmented or new ways of transporting materials - belts, inserters, pipes!
New Ores and resources as well as machines.
Things related to oil and other fluids.
Furnaces, assembling machines, production chains.
I am at 258+ research in Ore production and 20 in each other void production, and just now I see that nothing has changed with the research. The machines still produce and craft at the same rate as if I hadn't researched infinity at all.
It works fine for me. Some other mod must be interfering. You can see which mods have affected the tech by hovering over it in the tech tree.
I solve it the old-fashioned way: restart without mods, then add them back
