auto_drop_chunks feedback
Chunks are dropped only when picking something up would put you over the burden limit. There are two modes: partial one ("rotten") which will drop only rotten ones (none at all if you're a saprovore or know Simulacrum/ Sublimation), and full which will drop any chunks that are going to be of no use. It tries to be smart about chunk quality: contam chunks are worse than clean ones unless they're far fresher, modified by gourmand, mutations, etc.
There's a lot that can be improved: for example, it doesn't care what you're trying to pick up (new chunks should be counted); if you chop up an elephant into 8 chunks it will still try to pick them up _and_ keep an "appropriate" amount of old ones, etc. Which is crippling if your carrying capacity is 200aum in the first place.
I have wanted this option FOREVER.
Question: Does it auto-drop if you have any chunk-related spells memorized (Simulacrum or that necromancy one that restores MP whose name I can't recall) because I am not certain it should in those instances (sort of like availability of training Shields and availability of the Condensation Shield).
Did I make a lame complaint? Check for Bingo!
