Major rewrite to this page.
'''==Volume== Volume''' is a measure measurement of how much space an item takes up. In Wurm This measure is usually not displayed in game. Bulk bins are the word 'one exception. All containers have limited space for holding things, a fixed size volume' typically refers . Liquids happen to be 1 kg to numbers for capacity 1 L (weight to volume) and because of containers, rather than taking up visual space or effecting movementthis volume is casually referenced in liters (L). Many sold items have different kg to L relationships.
In Wurm, volume is measured in liters ('''examples'''* A small bucket can hold 12 L. A full bucket of water containers 12 L), and used mostly to measure liquids and bulk storageof water weighting 12 kg. This is different from [[weight]], which players become familiar with first, since the player inventory is based on weight. Many [[container|containers]] accept liquids, * A pottery bowl can hold 9 L and some accept solids or liquidsweights 0. Those that accept liquids have their capacity measured by volume, including solid items placed inside50 kg. This can be deceptive, however, since the number displayed A filet of fish is still the weight 0.20 L and not the volumeweights 0. Only in bulk bins does the "weight" column in the container window actually mean "volume"30 kgFor example: A small bucket Thus, a pottery bowl can hold 12L of water, 45 filets (9 / 0.2 = 45) and those 12L will weight 12kg in a player's inventory14 kg (13. If a solid items are placed in the bucket instead50 kg filet, and those items have different weight and volume per unit, the bucket may contain more or less than 12kg in a player's inventory when full0. This difference is due to density50 kg bowl).
==Density==
'''This is an advanced topic In Wurm, weight and not volume are better explain by code logic then applications of great use to new physics. Weight puts limits on what players''' Some items weigh more per volume than others. '''Density (can drag or carry, this includes the weight per volume, kg/L)''' is useful for measuring how well items store in volumetric of things inside containers, especially [[bulk storage bin|bulk storage bins]] and [[food storage bin|food storage bins]]. Higher density means that for each kilogram, less capacity is consumed Volume puts limits on how much stuff can fit in the bulk bina containerFor example: planks are All containers themselves consume slightly more than twice as dense as logs, volume then they hold. Hypothetically players can carry infinite volume and woodscraps far more than that, so sawing a bulk bin full of logs will result in a bulk bin half-full of planks and woodscraps, even though the total containers can hold infinite weight remains the same.
==notes==
* You can calculate how many items will fit in a container by dividing its volume buy the stored item's volume. See the [[Container]] page for a list of containers with volume capacities. [[Bulk storage bin]] and [[Food storage bin]] have many volume measurements for items.
* Containers have another limit that stopes then from having more then 100 individual items regardless of unoccupied volume.
