Could services (output of Prepare units) be an input? (pls)

So, as far as I understand, there is some hard-coded limitation in regard to the product being an output of prepare units. I’ve made a mod in which an output of a service firm was an input in another firm (let’s call it business services - semi product needed for another firm to produce its own product). The result: crashes.

My question / suggestion is: could such limitation be eliminated from the game?

Unless there is some significant technical issue (I thought of a fact that prepare units outputs doesn’t really have freight value or shouldn’t have and may that screws things up for devs), I don’t see why such limitation should be in place. The whole potential spectrum of the game, which I’d call business services / B2B services, is impossible due to the above.

If you could provide me with your mod, I will forward your suggestion and your mod file to the dev team and so that they can evaluate the feasibility. While the implementation of such a feature may seem straightforward, it will also be necessary to implement AI to make use of this feature which is more complex and time consuming to implement.
