'''Webs''' are the source of [[silk]], and appear randomly in fortress areas that are near [[chasm]] tiles or [[underground river]]s. The web itself looks like a light-grey [[gem]], and is most often labeled as being from [[cave spider]]s, but the presence of the actual [[vermin]] is not necessary for the web to be formed on a given spot (though cave spiders will appear in the general [[biome]] where the webs are found). Similar webs can be found in a biome inhabited by [[giant cave spider]]s; an actual [[GCS]] will be present if these are found. | '''Webs''' are the source of [[silk]], and appear randomly in fortress areas that are near [[chasm]] tiles or [[underground river]]s.

| − | Webs will be collected ''automatically'' by dwarves with the [[weaving]] labor enabled, but not until the fortress has a [[loom]]. A ''collect web'' task will be triggered at the loom as long as webs are on the map and in reach. This can be comfortably deactivated with {{k|o}}-{{k|W}}-{{k|w}}. An important option since webs often occur in dangerous places you might want to secure first. The [[weaver]] will then drop the collected thread in the loom and, depending on the loom setting ({{k|o}}-{{k|W}}-{{k|l}}) and availability of a stockpile, either leave it there, immediately weave it to cloth, or put it on a stockpile. Other ways to prevent collecting are preventing any dwarf from using the loom (e.g. with the {{k|P}} menu), deactivating the weaving [[labor]] on all dwarves or removing all looms. (Lack of stockpiles alone will ''not'' prevent this!) An easier alternative is just to suspend the collect webs task in each loom. | + | Webs will be collected ''automatically'' by dwarves with the [[weaving]] labor enabled, but not until the fortress has a [[loom]].

Webs become [[thread|silk thread]] the moment they are picked up. Cave spider silk webs and thread are worth 12[[currency|☼]]; giant cave spider silk webs and thread are worth 120[[currency|☼]]. | Webs become [[thread|silk thread]] the moment they are picked up.
