As someone who primarily played challenge mode in the first game, I have some suggestions
And lastly, for now - and this is not entirely a challenge mode exclusive thing - so I'm not putting it under the bullet points like other things:
Let the aviary and lagoon drones be player-controllable and have a photo function, so photography missions become possible in those places too.
If I can think of more things, I'll update this eventually. Feel free to add your ideas and thoughts too.
Edit: This is a maybe but would help with the random availability I like so much:
- First off, of course, would be to have all animals avilable in all in challange mode maps. It has been said before, but here it is again.
- Option to randomize the the animal availability. Similar to the 'Randomize Dig Site Availability', but here it could even be taken a step further: randomizing their order in the research section would be possible too.
- Being able to take a contract from the very beginning. The thing I did most often in the first game was just going with the flow of the random contracts. It's hard to explain, but there's something really zen to me about it. I'd like to have at least one randomized mission at all times.

Edit: This is a maybe but would help with the random availability I like so much:
- Have aviaries and lagoons be available from the start (this could also be made an option if people might prefer it the current way)
- I don't like that some of the genomes are already partly there when starting. I prefer the clean look of having only genomes of animals that I actively have extracted. Again, there could be an option for this, since many probably prefer this little starting boost (I myself can take it or leave it personally too, this is just preference)
