I love auto collect webs. But I want dwarfs to collect the precious Giant Cave Spider silk from my silk farm and ignore the ordinary Cave Spider silk from the caverns. Currently I have to autodump destroy the ordinary webs every 5 minutes, 400 webs! It would be nice if a script could kill those pesky spiders (which no script can currently do, since they're vermin, I think), or auto-forbid or auto-autodump destroy the ordinary webs.

It's probably possible to remove ordinary cave spiders from the cavern regions (so the species is not included in the lists), but I'm unsure what would happen if you did that in an existing fortress rather than pre embark.

It may be possible to have a script specify the type of webs to collect (there are fields for the job for that, although I don't know if they can be applied). Failing that, it ought to be possible to specify exactly which webs to collect, and thus select only GCS webs.

Although I've never used them, it sounds like workshop burrows should work, at least of you skip the manager and issue the web collection order (on repeat) manually in a workshop dedicated to the task (and thus located close to the web farm).

I use the following script every decade or so to remove webs for FPS preservation reasons:

Code: [Select]

function web_buster ()
  local count = 0
 
  for i, item in ipairs (df.global.world.items.all) do
    if item.flags.spider_web then
      item.flags.garbage_collect = true
      count = count + 1
    end
  end
 
  dfhack.println ("Webs busted " .. tostring (count))
end

web_buster ()
For your purposes, you'd probably want to add a check so you exclude GCS webs from the removal. It should also be possible to modify the script to run automatically every month or so if you really hate webs.

I made a burrow for the silk farm and put all my looms in there and restricted the workshops to the burrow. We'll see if that works.

wow, it's working like a charm, and my weavers are emptying out those webs at a heroic clip!
