It was annoying in the previous version, but with the sprawling caverns it has become acute. Dwarves ignore entire swathes of spider silk right in front of the gate to the underworld, instead preferring a web three caves further and deeper... with all the Fun that implies.

Solution: a "collect spider silk" designation, or include that function in the "harvest plants" designation.

Build a loom and it will do it automatically.

Reread his post. He's not having trouble getting dwarves to collect spider silk, he's having trouble getting dwarves to collect the easily-accessible deposits instead of dangerous ones.

Agreed this is a valuable suggestion. As a workaround, use a burrow, or wall off caverns you don't want people visiting.
