===Container Weight Capacity===
INSPECT will indicate where a container is [[functional item|worn]] (if wearable), sometimes what material it is, and how much a container can hold (in pounds) via descriptive categories that represent a capacity range. The Off-The-Shelf item values shown within ( ) are the accurate maximum capacities for those particular items when purchased. Other containers within the same descriptive category may have different maximum capacities. For example, the rucksacks sold in the [[Wehnimer's Landing]] [[Wehnimer's Landing General Store|general store]] inspect as 'slightly large' and player testing has shown that the maximum capacity is 40 lbs. The rucksacks weigh 4 lbs when empty, therefore, their total weight when filled to maximum capacity is 44 lbs.

The min/max values for each category are somewhat speculative and further player testing is needed to refine these ranges.

&dagger; In addition to the 'very large' storage capacity within the small chests, a 'fairly small' amount can be stored on them. Since an empty chest weighs 6 lbs., the total weight of a chest filled to max capacity is 96 lbs.

===Measuring Container Capacity===
One popular method is to buy full leathers from the armorer (which weigh 10 lbs each) and daggers (which weigh 1 lb each) and load them into a container until you've reached the container's limit.
