sorry, no, thats not currently possible.
Changing the production lines and the number of demanded items for each product would require a *major* change to the structures used for buildings - there isnt a way of doing that without a) making things incompatable with all previous versions and b) adding a significant overhead to the size of the buildings file that is downloaded whenever a client joins.

To get round it, ya can prolly look at chaining items together..
For example, If ya'r after somethin like..
1 Airplane requires 50 metal, 10 electronics, 20 wood, 30 plastics

then instead of having all that in one building ya'd perhaps have
1 Airplane Hull requires 50 metal, 10 electronics
1 Airplane Interior requires 20 wood, 30 plastics
then
1 Airplane requires 1 Airplane Hull + 1 Airplane Interior

If ya find this too cumbersome and enough ppl in general feel a need for more demanded items in their production lines, then i will look into extending the data structures in the building records to cope, but that'd have to be sometime later..
