I doubt this is a bug, but just to check, my dirtbike should only be able to hold some amount, yes?

Exact figures shouldn't be posted here on the forums.
besides, you're a little off.

Can't answer that for you, except: FIND OUT IN GAME!
I'll take this opportunity to remind people to please not post exact vaules on the forum...

Thats really where the whole thing falls down, isn't it. I have found out ingame, and wanted to make sure it actually should be that way

Even if you have the correct or incorrect value, we still can not say if it is correct or not, because that would influence you ICly. And don't say it won't, because it will.

I would day it wouldn't , because I already know I can carry {A value equal to X where X is a figure I am reffering to which may or may not be <= Y where Y is the maximum weight that can be carried by a standard cantarian in standard situations} in game, I was merely trying to gurentee that this was the value that the programmers intended it to be as {A value equal to X where X is a figure I am reffering to which may or may not be <= Y where Y is the maximum weight that can be carried by a standard cantarian in standard situations} seems like a bit of a low amount to be carried on a dirtbike, yet I cannnot carry more than {A value equal to X where X is a figure I am reffering to which may or may not be <= Y where Y is the maximum weight that can be carried by a standard cantarian in standard situations}, but I do understand the reasons behind the limit of {A value equal to X where X is a figure I am reffering to which may or may not be <= Y where Y is the maximum weight that can be carried by a standard cantarian in standard situations} if it is the case that {A value equal to X where X is a figure I am reffering to which may or may not be <= Y where Y is the maximum weight that can be carried by a standard cantarian in standard situations} is the intended value.

*rubs his eyes*
That was too hard to read...
Anyhow.
If you're familiar with vehicles and the flat ridiculous amount of stuff a car can hold (really, it's just ENOURMOUS), or even if you're just used to how much a person can hold, some vehicles seem off. However, most have advantages, like a bike can move faster than a person on a foot. Some vehicles are faster than others, some MUCH faster.
Some do seem to have at least poor planning in them. Like rafts. They hold very very very little. VERY little. And they're slow. Combined, I'm not sure if there's any body of water in cantr that can be navigated without getting hungry. Not to mention, last I checked, they're too small for locks. They do have the advantage of not needing much wood. That's about it.

...Uhh, is a raft REALLY for inter-continential travel?
...And you can NOT use the movie Cast Away as an example, either. Jerk.
As for the values of how much can be carried. Agar explained it well. Some are fast, but hold little. Some hold lots, but go sluggish. Simple to think about, really. Is your bike FAST? Then it holds LITTLE. Simple!

Haven't seen castaway, wasn't planning on making any movie references anyway, hold off on the premptive "jerk" calling, k?
I wasn't expecting it to be used to travel between continents, I meant just on small little lake. Really! It holds so very very very little, even dense processed foods are likely to run out because it's so flipping slow! Moreso if you have any basic tools, a shield and a weapon.
What is the purpose of rafts but for newspawn bait?

Maybe that lake isn't as small as it seems.
Oh, and Anthony calls everyone a jerk. It is his way of complimenting people.

*frantically waves hand in the air* Oh, OH!! I have an idea!!!! It came to me in an inspirational dream and not from anything that Agar said. Shut up, it DID!
A bait raft with a long rope attached. Naughty newspawns can't resist the temptation. BUT, when they get out on the lake we pull on the rope and a pointy stick pops up and pushes them overboard. Then...haul the empty raft back in and set the trap for the next foolish one. Hahhahahah!!!!
*thinks twice and sighs* It wouldn't be long before all the suicidal newspawns would be streaming, lemming-like, toward the Kevorkian rafts.

"Jerk" is a joke. You've seen thousands of my posts. You should know by now

Sorry.
As for the raft, it works just fine. A character of mine was able to get from one continent to another using just a raft. Sure, it's very slow, and yes, they starved near the end, but they still made it. And it was from one continent to another. It's possible. Therefore, you can surely use it on a lake, to get to where you need to go.
HOWEVER. Not all boats were created to be used on the water, hint hint. It may be possible that the raft was a type of boat you could use to board other boats, hint hint. Just maybe, hint hint. Just like other smaller boats, but this one is like, for a single person, hint hint.
Do you get the hint?

I get the hint. To bad I can't use the information IC.
