An item's weight is determined by multiplying its volume by the density of its material divided by 1000. For example, [[iron]] (7850 / 1000 = 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.

Items also have a "bulk" which does not depend on the material and is used to determine [[clutter]] as well as how many items can fit into a container.

For example, a single bin (of capacity 100) can hold 6 chestplates (bulk 15), 10 shields (bulk 10), 20 figurines (bulk 5), 33 large gems (bulk 3), or 100 earrings (bulk 1), or any equivalent combination thereof.

This article is about an older version of DF.

All item have Weight. This unit is Γ.

Weight calculation[edit]

An item's weight is determined by multiplying its volume by the density of its material divided by 1000. For example, iron (7850 / 1000 = 7.85) bars (200) weigh 1570Γ.

Items also have a "bulk" which does not depend on the material and is used to determine clutter as well as how many items can fit into a container. For example, a single bin (of capacity 100) can hold 6 chestplates (bulk 15), 10 shields (bulk 10), 20 figurines (bulk 5), 33 large gems (bulk 3), or 100 earrings (bulk 1), or any equivalent combination thereof.

Trade and weight[edit]

Caravans have a limit on how much they can carry, determined by the types and quantity of pack animals and wagons they bring - if you attempt to offer them more goods than they can carry, they will refuse. For this reason, selling heavy items (such as furniture and mechanisms) can be difficult, making smaller items like crafts, trap components, and prepared meals much more attractive trade goods.
