Talk:Container

What is the standard for deciding how many items a container can hold? Is it total combined item weight (for instance, huge tub has 250 cotton listed - 250 combined cottons?), or theoretical item max (Since no container holds more than 100 items)?--Elshar 14:15, 6 May 2009 (CDT)

I think there was a change at some point, I am convinced that it was possible to add more than 800kg of ore into a small cart (40 x 20kg) if you combined them to, say, 100kg pieces. This is no longer entirely possible, it will now fit 8 x 100kg and 2 x 20kg if I recall correctly.

Which means that a combined items weight didn't change its volume of one uncombined piece of the item. But it seems it does now.

Maybe the person who filled that 250 in based it on the math, dividing tub capacity by cotton volume? *shrugs* Guess it needs further research ^___^ --Ulviirala 07:31, 8 May 2009 (CDT)
