It would be helpful if Item products could have a particular durability assigned to them when the item is a tool prototype. This will make it easier to prevent infinite science loops when using science packs as a recipe ingredient or recipe product. Additionally, the ability to transfer durability from ingredients to products would also be helpful when consolidating science packs into compressed items, like what Maraxsis does.

+1. I can kindof see an implementation of this using spoilage with a super long time as a faux durability but having a proper implementation would be really useful. Having all of the spoilage like options (result is always fresh, spoiled %, etc) would be so useful with this addition. Honestly, even just adding Recipe.result_is_always_full and Result.percent_durability would be awesome
