Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Goldify rations and chunks

...so they don't take up inventory space and so you don't have to know their inventory letters when you eat.

Re: Goldify rations and chunks

Are you imagining chunks and rations remaining separate, or merging? If chunk nutrition and ration nutrition are identical, you could maintain the mechanic/balance status quo by having a rot-style gauge. Ex: 24(4) with the # in parentheses being the # of chunks you have. Obviously further streamlining would be desirable, i.e. automatic butchering/eating that doesn't take in-game time, etc. But metered rations/chunks would be easy to implement and wouldn't have to affect balance at all.

Re: Goldify rations and chunks

They could remain separate. Eating would continue to take the oldest chunk, or if you are out of chunks it would give a y/n to eat a ration.
