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".== 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.
Some items weigh more per volume than others. '''Density * Liquids happen to be 1kg to 1L (weight per to volume), kg/and because of this, are often referenced in liters (L)''' is useful for measuring how well . Many sold items store in volumetric have different kg to L relationships. Examples:** A small bucket can hold 12 L. A full bucket of water containers12 L of water weighting 12 kg. ** A pottery bowl can hold 9 L and weights 0.50 kg. A fillet of fish is 0.20 L and weights 0.30 kg. Thus, especially [[bulk storage bin|bulk storage bins]] a pottery bowl can hold 45 fillets (9 / 0.2 = 45) and [[food storage bin|food storage bins]]will weight 14 kg (13. Higher density means that for each kilogram50 kg fillet, less capacity is consumed in the bulk bin0.50 kg bowl).
For example: planks are * Volume puts limits on how much can fit in a container. 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 containers can hold infinite weight. * You can calculate how many of logs an item will result fit in a bulk bin half-full container by dividing the container's volume by the stored item's volume. See the [[Container]] page for a list of planks containers and woodscraps, even though the total weight remains the samevolume capacities. [[Category:Game mechanics]][[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.
