| This article is about an older version of DF. |
All item have Weight. This unit is Γ.
Weight calculation
An item's weight is determined by multiplying its base weight by the density of its material divided by 1000. For example, iron (7.85) bars (200) weigh 1570Γ.
Items also have a volume which does not depend on the material and is used to determine clutter as well as how many items can fit into a container.
