Got the same probleme for the food, they give him the finest meal they can found..

Same problem here. I'm using the mod "Pawn Rules" and it ignores those food restrictions as well. I have a stack of simple meals that the prisoners have access to, but my wardens are constantly picking up my best meals and taking them to the prisoners the minute their food bar drops below the hash mark I have to draft all of my wardens while I wait for the prisoner to feed themselves

Guys, the author said this is a game bug so he cant fix. My workaround is building a prison with a nutrient paste for prisoner to feed themself and lock my recruiters from the area. My wardens have jailer job enable but disable warden job so they wont feed prisoners. If there is a prisoner i want to recruit, i will move them to an other area where my recruiters have access to feed them and recruit them, at this point, i dont care if they feed them lavish meal because im gonna take them in anyway.

seem odd that a game bug appear when i got this mod.. but ok, I guess i'll do something like you then!

Yeah, same case for me. And an other thing, if u have the work tab mod, u will find under warden job, there are 3 smaller tasks: recruit, feed,.. prisoners. U can disable the feeding part and leave only recruit part, but it doesnt work for me for some reason, my recruiters still feed prisoners, so i end up disable all parts of the warden job like above.

It's not a game bug when other mods have no problem handling meal filters.

There are mods that set food for pawns. Even prisoners that work with Prison Labor. I use one and almost starved my prisoners becuase I ran out of simple food.

I am using "work tab" just to disable "feed prisoner", and it seems to work well, because i want my pawns to do all the other jobs included in "warden", except feeding the prisoners.

Just create a stockpile in their room, make it critical, and set it to only simple meals. It will solve all your problems
