Foreward
This is less going to be about how much space items take up, and more
about how many items you can fit in a given container usefully. I
tend to do a lot of work while dragging a small cart around, and it’s
good to have a reference on the most efficient way to store things
like farmed goods (especially cotton, fuck cotton).
There may be some other things if I’ve worked on a random one-off
project that may still be helpful.
Farmed stuff
- All of these numbers apply identically to rafts
- Generally you want to use the fewest number of containers possible
while still maximizing storage, as picking up 18 pumpkins is a lot
easier than picking up 9 stacks of 2 pumpkins. - Note the jar is a stand-in for any 2l container. You could
theoretically use something like a roasting dish for some of these,
but I don’t think the efficiency gained by making roasting dishes
would outweigh the time spent making them and managing them. - All of this assumes you’re mono-cropping. If you’re not, then just
try to have a few of each container setup so you can store things in
a variety of ways. - Functionally you can get by just on using satchels for this, unless
your farm is quite large (over 800 tiles at an estimate, with fairly
high level farming), so do with all of this what you will. I keep
my coffee ibriks in my satchels, so it’s still nice having this
reference for me.
Again for emphasis, most players will do fine just using satchels,you
do not need to make jars unless your farm is 500+ tiles.
Also, to note, all of this is based directly on the wurmpedia page for
containers, and the page for FSBs. I’ll be updating this information
as I have in-game confirmation about it.

- Drop on the ground and collect them later using a larger
storage method, such as a large cart being pulled by animals with
either rafts or large crates inside of it. ↩︎
