If I build a loom in my fortress thats only 5-10 z levels below the ground and order weavers to gather webs from the caverns 30 z levels down, I get no path spam. Seems to be fixed by building a loom in the caverns where the webs are. I've never seen it for anything like just a dwarf trying to drink or go on break or anything though.

In my example, the caverns were un-explored, but there was a path.  This only ever happens with natural caves and tunnels.  They'll path their way down to a single web (or sock) in the most obscure corners of the map, as long as they can "see" it.

Ah, problem solved (at last). The hunter was trying to go down to the caverns to kill a giant cave spider.

No idea what the guy on the food stockpile was doing, though. Maybe he just REALLY likes lobster...

I'm completely out of ideas. I have hunters who claim they can't hunt because there's no path (there is), a cook who can't cook because there's no path (ugh), and even worse, a woodcutter who claims he can't drink because - yet again - no path.

The woodcutter is standing on the food stockpile. There is a barrel of food underneath him. He still can't find a path.

I am unable to reach into my PC and strangle him into submission. Does anybody have a workaround?

Maybe you broke some of your ramps by digging out the walls next to them or you have a locked door that they can't path through?
