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.== Description ==
For example: A small bucket can hold 16L Volume is a measurement of water, and those 16L weight 16kg how much space an item takes up. This measure is often not displayed in a player's inventory-game. If a solid items Bulk bins 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 fullone exception. This difference is due to density.
For example: planks are more than twice as dense as logs* Liquids happen to be 1kg to 1L (weight to volume), and woodscraps far more than thatbecause of this, so sawing a bulk bin are often referenced in liters (L). Many sold items have different kg to L relationships. Examples:** A small bucket can hold 12 L. A full bucket of water containers 12 L of logs will result in a bulk bin half-full water weighting 12 kg. ** A pottery bowl can hold 9 L and weights 0.50 kg. A fillet of planks fish is 0.20 L and woodscrapsweights 0.30 kg. Thus, even though the total a pottery bowl can hold 45 fillets (9 / 0.2 = 45) and will weight remains the same14 kg (13.50 kg fillet, 0.50 kg bowl).
==Table * Volume puts limits on how much can fit in a container. All containers themselves consume slightly more volume then they hold. Hypothetically players can carry infinite volume and containers can hold infinite weight. * You can calculate how many of an item will fit in a container by dividing the container's volume by the stored item's volume. See the [[Container]] page for a list of Volumes containers and Densities==volume capacities. [[Category:Game mechanics]](under construction)[[Category: Babel/V]]

[[Complete DB|Main]] / [[:Category:Game mechanics|Game Mechanics]] / '''Volume{{PAGENAME}}''' is a measure of how much space an item takes up. In Wurm the word 'volume' typically refers to numbers for capacity of containers, rather than taking up visual space or effecting movement.
==DensityNotes ==Some items weigh more per volume than others. '''Density (weight per volume, kg/L)''' is useful for measuring how well items store in volumetric 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 in the bulk bin.
