So I made some a new civ using that arachnid race example on the dwarf fortress wiki. I managed to get them to have jobs and even build tunnels where large quantities of them live. But those tunnels seem kinda... empty. I gave them the ability to make webs and was hoping they would fill (or at least cover some parts of) the tunnels with it... but they didn't. So my question is, is there a way to make their tunnels fill with their webs?
Thanks in advance^^

No, I don't think so.  Can you make vermin pets?  If so, you could give them spider-vermin pets and the spiders might put silk around their tunnels.  Not very much, though.  In Fortress mode, the player could eventually coat the Fort in web tapestries, using decorated ropes woven from your follower's silk, but the computer won't do this on its own.

I see... I'll try to give them spider pets, then. If the vermin ones don't work, maybe the large cave spiders will. Thanks for the help!

vermin can be made pets, only if they're made available from the (z)status screen on the animal menu AND usually only if there's some sort of preference for the vermin (I've never seen a dwarf adopt an animal they didn't have a preference for).  They will carry the pet around with them in their inventory, and I'm not sure if that will affect their web-spinning (the vermin's).

GCS and anything not vermin sprays web while fighting , nothing else

i belive a code that makes a vermin [NOHATE] must be used if you wan't to attach the CSs , like the code in fluffy wamblers
