for non-bulk-bins, number shown is weight
In Wurm, volume is measured in liters (L), and used mostly to measure liquids and bulk storage. This is different from [[weight]], which players become familiar with first, since the player inventory is based on weight.
Many [[container|containers]] accept liquids, and some accept solids or liquids. Those that accept liquids have their capacity measured by volume, including solid items placed inside. This can be deceptive, however, since the number displayed is still the weight and not the volume. Only in bulk bins does the "weight" column in the container window actually mean "volume".
For example: A small bucket can hold 16L of water, and those 16L weight 16kg in a player's inventory. If a solid items are placed in the bucket instead, and those items have different weight and volume per unit, the bucket may contain more or less than 16kg in a player's inventory when full. This difference is due to density.
