Containers are created items used to store smaller items, and can be used to organize. There are many different kinds of containers, and if used correctly, the type of container can represent what is inside.

For a list of containers, see Category:Containers.

Container Comparison

Containers have a weight, and hold a given volume of items. Some containers will not hold liquids and others only hold liquids. Some are mobile containers, others are stationary, and most can be carried in your inventory. Items are sorted by increasing volume.

Notes:
X = not possible
NA = not applicable
? = need data
Rags = 0.1kg each
Cotton = 1.0kg each
Seeds = 0.1kg each
Meat filet = 0.3kg each

Jars used to hold 1.94 kg instead of 2.00, but all such jars were destroyed in the cataclysm before Gold 2.

Volume denotes the number of kilograms (kgs) of a liquid -- usually water -- a container will hold. The weight attribute is the weight of the container itself, not the amount of weight it will hold. Items list their weight although when it comes to storing them inside containers it's their hidden volume attribute that is used. For example a cart will only hold 94kg of cotton, but that same cart will hold 1,400kg of bricks. This occurs because the cotton has significantly greater volume than bricks do. Unfortunately the volume of items are not displayed only their weights.

If a container contains a liquid, it cannot contain other items (solid or liquid). One exception is that water can be mixed with cooking ingredients, e.g. to make soup.
