Volume and Weight Encumbrance Invariant

cataclysm-bn/semantic/encumbrance-systemsemantic_record✓ Canonical○ Unknown

Attributes

bodyEvery item has volume (in ml) and weight (in grams). Containers (backpacks, pockets, vehicles) have max volume. Character strength stat determines max carry weight. Exceeding weight limits reduces movement speed and causes stamina drain. This invariant creates the core survival tension: players cannot carry everything they find, forcing prioritization and strategic decisions about what to craft, wear, or abandon.

summaryCataclysm-BN enforces encumbrance through item volume (ml) and weight (g). Storage containers have limited volume capacity; character strength determines carry weight. This creates a permanent inventory management tension between utility and mobility.
