Isn't it possible to change the behiour of serfs, when the barracks would be destroyed and the storehouse blocks axes, that serfs will just drop the axe?
That's what they do, they will drop the axe if there's no where for it to go and they have already collected it.
In general, I just want to ask if its possible to "refresh the frequency of serfs brain"

One example: serf is bringing a swine into the butcherhouse, exactly in that moment the butcher have 3 sausages finished. 3 free serfs from the other side of the city start to walk for these sausages. It would be much more efficient, when the outcoming serf would go back to that 1 tile close sausage and the serf at the other side of the City would abort/stop that task.
I've had ideas to improve that for a while. However, we do not want serfs to abort tasks because that will look really bad to the player if serfs regularly start walking somewhere then stop again because some other serf took the job. A better solution would be for the serf taking the pig to the butcher to reserve one of the sausage for him to take out before he gets there (if he is close enough). Currently he only takes a sausage if nobody has claimed it at the moment he arrives at the house.
