− | Unfortunately, [[tame|taming]] a cave spider does not provide a source of controlled [[silk]] production, as cave spiders in cages will not spin webs. Because of this, a [[silk]] farm requires an area (potentially cleared and sealed, for dwarven [[unfortunate accident|safety]]) in which the vermin can run wild. Since cave spiders do not reproduce like creatures, any such farm will need to be in a [[biome]] that generates cave spiders. You can also dig out a room in an upper level (near your loom) and attach a lever to a placed cage {{k|q}}-{{k|a}}-{{k|j}} (much the same as you would with caged goblins, though be sure to tame the spiders), once the cage has been filled with tame cave spiders, {{k|q}}-{{k|a}}-{{k|P}} pull the lever, releasing the spiders (that have been caught in an animal trap baited with meat), they will be released and begin filling the area with webs without your dwarves and pets having to deal with bites. | + | Unfortunately, [[tame|taming]] a cave spider does not provide a source of controlled [[silk]] production, as cave spiders in cages will not spin webs.
