Carry Weight (CW)

Carry Weight is calculated on server in grams. The inventory UI divides final result by 1000 → shown value is kilograms.

Trait: Small Frame

• Small Frame reduces Strength efficiency inside CW calculation
• If combined with its matching perk (the one that removes default SF malus) CW is hard capped at about 75 000 g = 75 kg

Strength / Charisma conversion info

• Strength multiplies CW strongly (Strength is multiplied by coefficient 10, or 7 if Small Frame)
• Charisma normally reduces this multiplier by −3 per Charisma
• if the character has the Special Boy synergy (Gain Charisma + Gain Intelligence + Bonus Rate of Fire) → this Charisma penalty is removed

Final conversion

Server stores CW in grams.

The inventory window divides by 1000:

example

75 000 g = 75 kg

Why 150/150 kg can still be overweight

UI rounds to whole kilograms. Example: real value is 150 400 g / 150 000 g → UI shows 150/150 but this is still overweight.
