Materials and their Weights

Archive: 6 posts


Time after time, we all think: "How much does this material weigh?"

I was wondering about that too, and made a beam scale to find out!

Comparing every basic material's weight to the weight of 1 Wood grid square, I came up with this table of weights:

Table of Material Weights(the big font means it's something special)

Wood = 1 (it is described as the "basic building material" so I'm putting it as a base weight)
Metal = 2
Cardboard = 0.1 (VERY LIGHT)
Polystyrene = 0.1
Sponge = 0.2
Rubber = 1
Glass = 1
Pink Floaty = 0 (weightless)
Peach Floaty= -0.1
Dissolve = 0.15 (*)
Stone = 2
Fire = always 1, no matter which material it's made from
Electric = electrified material's weight
Horrible Gas = weightless unless stuck to something, then it's 0.1 (**)
Material Changed Gas = look above
Sackboy = 1.1

Thin Materials are 2 times lighter than Medium materials.
Fat Materials are 2 times heavier than Medium materials.

So, there you have it! Enjoy, and if you find any mistakes feel free to post!



Note:

(*)When I first measured this, I thought I was crazy, or my scales were broken. The problem was that the scales were not perfectly straight both when I compared the weights of Dissolve and Cardboard, and Dissolve and Sponge.
However, when I put off all of the load, the scales were perfectly balanced. So that means I'm crazy!!! LOL
No, really, that has really bothered me, and I put two Dissolves on one side and 1 Cardboard and 1 Sponge on the other side, and the scales were perfectly balanced. Some math (2x=0.2+0.1, 2x=0.3, x=0.15) proves that the weight of Dissolve is 0.15 of the weight of Wood.

(**)Call me stupid, crazy, mad, lunatic or heretic, but it's true!

I had an idea of making a scale to measure materials for months now, but never built it. (too busy)

Thanks for this.

Cory, I don't mean this mean, but I kind of find it kind of funny every post about something i either see a post by you claiming it or that you had the idea and never got around to it.
Thanks for the scale by the way!

Yeah, I guess it seems that way, but I have a ton of ideas flowing through my brain.(And I mean a TON!)

It's true. That's why all of my levels are unoriginal because cory is always thinking of it before I can. Let me tell you, my new level coming soon, cory will already know how it'll be like because he already thought of it before. The crazy part is that I don't know what I'm building yet myself as well.

In conclusion, don't underestimate him. XP
