- Dig out a "harvesting chamber" (example shown is 9x8).
- Construct the light gray wall and red fortifications.
- Channel out the area in green, remove the resulting ramps on the level below, and connect this "collection chamber" to your fortress with a single entrance tile
- Build the large green bridge (retracting) and long blue bridge (raising East)
- Construct a pressure plate in a well-traveled area and link it to the green bridge
- Build a cage containing an *untamed* spider at the gray "S", and link it to a lever
- Build a non-wooden door above the spider cage, and mark it forbidden and pet-inaccessible
- Build a restraint under the yellow "d" and attach a *tame* *non-grazing* *hostile* animal (such as a dog)
- Recommended: build a cage trap on the green "^" to recapture your spider later
- Evacuate the chamber and forbid the entrance door
- Pull the lever to release the spider
- Once there are webs on the bridge, send a dwarf into the collection chamber below to trigger the pressure plate and drop the webs for easy collection (once collection has started your weavers will automatically trigger additional webs to drop)
- Sit back and enjoy your (mostly) automated supply of new silk socks
Note that a simple pit in the harvesting chamber will not work--the bridge is required to cause the "web objects" to drop to the next level (and stack). Because falling items are now deadly (a falling web managed to break the spine of one of my aspiring weavers), it is necessary to collect the webs on the "holding" bridge and only drop them into the collection chamber when your weavers are clear. Also, web attacks can now damage their target, so the blue "blocking" bridge is necessary to allow periodic replacement of the bait. One spider can easily keep several weavers busy.
