Term: Bulk

Bulk is a default fuzzy unit of weight used to measure how much something weighs within game. It is used for everything, including Carrying Capacity. Bulk can be segmented and decimaled, providing an accurate, if pedantic, unit.

  Comparing to traditional and/or out of game units of measure, 1 Bulk is equal to around 4-5 kilograms or 10-11 lbs. This game shaves rounds up/down to the nearest integer of 5, because that's just easier. If you want to get really pedantic, 1 Kilogram = 2.20462 lbs, or 1 lb = 0.453592 Kilos. You probably won't remember that. So, we use Bulk.
