Weight is a characteristic of some Mobs exclusive to Don't Starve Together. Only Vegetables, Ocean Fishes, Freshwater Fish, Live Eel, Wobster and Lunar Wobster have weights.

Fishes

Weight of fish can be measured with Pocket Scale and Fish Scale-O-Matic. The weight of a fish is chosen at random from the range of values possible for its species. Weights of Ocean Fishes are evenly distributed:

weight = random * (max_weight - min_weight) + min_weight

Weights of Wobster and Lunar Wobster are concentrated towards the minimum:

weight = random^3 * (max_weight - min_weight) + min_weight

Weights of Freshwater Fish and Live Eel are concentrated towards the average:

weight = ((2 * random - 1)^3 - 1) * (max_weight - min_weight) + min_weight

The Crabby Hermit accepts only fish that weigh more than 70% of the maximum weight for their type. The Heavy Weighted Lure attracts only fish that weigh more than 80% of the maximum weight for their type.

Below is a table of weight range for each species and the corresponding Crabby Hermit and Heavy Weighted Lure threshold:

Vegetables

Vegetables can be weighted with a Produce Scale. Regular vegetables are too light and the scale display a weight inferior to 1. Giant Vegetables have a weight given be the formula:

if random < coefficient then 
   weight = (random + random) / 2  * (max - min) + min
else
   weight = random  * (max - min) + min

with random is a uniform random variable between 0 and 1, and coefficient is a variable proper to each vegetable. A small coefficient indicates that weights probabilities are evenly distributed between all possible value, a high coefficient indicates than weights are more likely to be close to the average value and less likely to be extreme.
