Adamantine[edit]

I'm pretty sure it's not actually possible to make adamantine bags, just like it's not possible to make adamantine ropes - attempting to do so will just give you chests and chains, respectively. --Quietust 21:10, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that, and couldn't check at the moment, I forgot to put a verify :P--Kaos 12:53, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Hang on a second!!.... Adamantine can be made into thread and bars, right? you use the bar to make a chest/chain at the metalsmith's, and you use the thread to make adamantine cloth at the clothier's and that cloth when fashioned at the clothier's into bags/ropes give you chains/chests??--Kaos 13:21, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Bags and separate entries[edit]

I think bags should have a separate entry, the "Yes & No" in the furniture column is to say that they can be placed as furniture or can be used as is like barrels, bins...

The main reason I went with separate entries was because some items wouldn't behave the same when made of one material or other:

Like flasks, glass vials are the only ones that can be used as reagents for extracts, I haven't seen the others used and caravans bring barrels with the extracts not flasks...

In the case of bags to clarify that if you make adamantine bag/chest/box/etc you'll get a chest (i think) not a bag or anything else...--Kaos 12:53, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Capacities[edit]

Why did you reverted the capacities to their liquid capacity in all cases but barrels/bins/etc??

Isn't the solid capacity equal to the liquid capacity divided by ten?--Kaos 12:53, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

In the case of the Large Pots the raws say it has a 60.000 capacity (liquid) so the solid capacity should be 6.000, right?--Kaos 12:55, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Stockpiles[edit]

Large pots appear to be stored in furniture stockpiles for me.

Multiple tiles representing containers?[edit]

The tile listed in the description (Æ) is not the only tile used - what about the bag (δ)? How do we add the second symbol (short of creating a new infobox template)?

Arguably, the infobox doesn't even belong on this page because this is a generic page for all types of containers. Also, please sign your comments. --Quietust 18:37, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
