Main / Game mechanics / Container


A container is a crafted item used for organizational purposes, the storage of smaller items, and the prevention of decay.

Comparison table

Every container has weight, depending on the materials used to make it, and can hold a specific volume of items inside. Some containers will not hold liquids, some are mobile, others are stationary, and some may be carried in your inventory. The following table seeks to list this information for each container found in Wurm.

For additional information on a particular container listed here, including recursive storage info (storing containers inside of other containers), it is advisable to check that container's specific page within the Wikipedia.

See Legend below for additional meanings of symbols and terms used herein.

  • Volume = the total amount of physical space a container takes up as well as offers internally for storage purposes.
  • Weight = the total weight of the container without any items inside.
  • Move: D = can be dragged, I = Can be picked up into inventory, L= Can be loaded
  •  ? = Data required

Container features

Performing actions with containers

All containers, including the inventory and inventory groups, can be activated like other items. Some actions have special functionality when a container is activated, and will choose the first valid item in the container when performing the action. These actions currently include:

For example, if a satchel is activated and it happens to contain seeds, multiple sowing actions can be queued with the satchel activated and each action will automatically use a different seed item.

When a container is on the toolbelt, the number of items inside the container will be shown on its toolbelt icon. By clicking the toolbelt slot again, or pressing the hotkey for that slot, the activated item will toggle between the container itself and the first item inside the container.

Additional Notes

  • To effectively gauge how much of an item a particular container may hold, simply divide that container's volume, given in the chart above, by the volume that a single unit of that item takes up. The resulting number represents how many of that item will then actually fit in the desired container.
