[MOD Suggestion] Item decays on belts

[Toch]

I was playing Planetbase game, and i really liked game mechanic where not stored items slowly decay.

I was wondering would that be possible as mod in Factorio ?

Functionality:
Every item would have timer lets say 5mins, and for that time it have to be used or stored otherwise it loose it funcionality. (might follow some recycling of broken items, but lets keep it simple for start)

What i expect of this mod is motivation not to use belts only to fill-in items into factories, but some kind of smart system via boxes and circuits.

But unfortunatly iam far from a moder so some one would have to do it, if enough ppl like it.

I can only imagine that this would be a performance nightmare to make/use. Keeping track of a timer for 10s of thousands of items would be a little cpu heavy.
