Does anyone know of a mod that prevents cooks from taking fresh food (Either fruits from trees, or meals cooked from prison-grown potatoes, cabbage, etc.) out of a serving table? It is very annoying that cooks just run around in circles. First they take fresh stuff from the pantry to the kitchen, then, if it needs to be cooked, they cook it, if it doesn't need to be cooked, they bring it directly to the canteen, and then, from the serving table, they take all food that is made from fresh produce back to the pantry to begin the cycle again. It happens as soon as they start to prepare for meal time (because that is when they start storing stuff in the serving tables) and it happens only with meals that were made with fresh produce - the basic meals made from imported ingredients are not affected.

Workarounds that I have currently found are locking the kitchens (which prevents the cooks from cooking any more meals) or constantly looking at the job list and pausing every 0.5 seconds to cancel any tasks that move stuff from a serving table to a pantry. Obviously, those workarounds are extremely annoying, tedious, and just generally make the game very bothersome to deal with. So would be great if there was a mod that somehow deals with this without me having to constantly do it manually.

I'm thinking of something like
int StartNewTask(taskType, taskTarget, targetLocation, targetDestination, args)
{
if ((taskType == move) && (taskTarget == freshFood) && (targetLocation == servingTable) && ((targetDestination == pantry) || (targetDestination == storageShelf)))
{
return -1;
}
// Other unrelated stuff
}
No idea how difficult or easy this would be to do with a mod, or if such a mod already exists. Hopefully it does exist. If it doesn't exist and isn't too difficult to do, consider this a mod request, otherwise feel free to ignore it (unless you've found a different workaround method that works better than what I've come up with, then of course I'd really like to hear about that too).
