I had a nice game going near a large chasm with a healthy dyed spider-silk clothing trade. I was buying out all of the caravans and then it happened. No more webs! No more bitten dwarves and pets! No more economy! I haven't seen a new web for over a year. Is there something I did to my precious spiders or is there a way to get them back?

are there any non overly dug out Z levels at the chasm? if not, try digging out a new Bit, more Should spawn, but i'm not sure, Mabye you just overtook the web production and the spiders starved?

First guess, a cat playfully killed them. Another guess, your trappers caught them, and then they were eaten on the animal stockpile. The spiders, I mean. Yet another guess - the damn spider just ran away. I had it happen once, a spider was fuelling my silk trade, then disappeared for a long time. Then he resurfaced, and was coming and going periodically for some time.

Hmmm, so maybe the 4 Looms and 3 Dyers workshops were a bad idea after all. If that's it I have to give mad props to the coder for thinking that one through.

That's what I was guessing. I had almost too many webs showing up each year (hence the 4 looms) and most of them outdoors then nada. Although the place is cold most of the year. I wonder if that does anything to the spider population.
