How to turn on new auto Butcher

[ngmatt8652]

After pursing Google and the txt files in the crawl app (I am on mac BTW) I have been unable to find out how to turn on the new auto correct feature and my experience doing this sort of thing is zilch. can anyone post a how to guide so people don't stubble around trying to find where this option is?

now this is some irony right here

You need to add the auto_butcher option to your rcfile. From options_guide.txt:

  Code:

auto_butcher = very hungry
        If this is set to true, you will automatically travel to and attempt to
        butcher edible corpses. Can also be set to a hunger threshold ('very
        full', 'full', 'satiated', 'hungry', 'very hungry', or 'near starving')
        to enable automatic butchery only when at that state or hungrier.

So in your rcfile ([crawl directory]/settings/init.txt for local games) you add a line like this:

  Code:

auto_butcher = hungry

to automatically butcher corpses whenever you are hungry or worse.

I would like
auto_butcher = within_corpse_rot_time_of_being_hungry
