My latest mood is asking for silk cloth, and, silly me, I don't have any. I do have a militia, breached and have made the caverns accessible, and webs are in those caverns... but due to this bug, I can't collect any of them.

This is a no-cheat/no-modding/no-exploit fort that I'm playing, but I don't have qualms about exploiting or modding to workaround a blatant bug.

That said, is there any way that I could get some silk cloth? Well, I know I could edit the Smelt Galena reaction to spit out some silk cloth as well, but I have no idea what that'd look like... Walling off a section of the caverns is rather impractical right now - that's out of the question. Any other easy way of getting my blacksmith some silk?

You don't have traders, then? That is the only other legit way i can think of.

What happens if you build a loom right next to some webs?

[Quietust]

Go into the Stocks screen and forbid all of the webs, then unforbid the specific ones you want your weaver to gather.

It's also possible to just deal with the interrupt spam. Depending on the number of webs, it may take a while.

[Wannazzaki]

mark all of the stuff for dumping, autodump it with DF hack into your fort. Build a loom.

Isn't there something in the {o}rders screen that turns off the automatic setting of web collection jobs?

I belive {o}rders->{W}orkshps->something that says automatically collect webs?

[acetech09]

By what I understand - the reason the web has pathfinding errors are that the target web assignment ignores unexplored space, while pathfinding does - so a dwarf fails to path find to the target web - but the loom doesn't see any problem so it reassigns the task without canceling. No webs ever get collected...

Automatic collection of webs still requires loom... which still queues the fail jobs up.

Can you dump webs? If you can then I'd be happy.

[Azure]

Do you have the caverns fully explored?

If not the game will send dwarves after webs it can't find. Use dumped kittens, fortifications, and military squads to fully map the caverns.

I had this issue.

I made it stop by turning off auto-collect. Let the game run a little bit. Turned it back on. No problem anymore, and lots of web collection. YMMV.
