[edit] Silk Collecting and web immunity

I've just noticed, that while all other dwarves will get stuck in the GCS webs, my weaver with collect silk job will happily run through it to collect the distant pieces of it. Does activating this job makes the dwarves immune to webbing? --Dorten 01:01, 15 December 2008 (EST)

It may just be that a dwarf actively doing a "collect webs" task won't get caught in webs. If they did get caught in a web they intended to collect, they would destroy it instead.--Maximus 11:07, 15 December 2008 (EST)

And there is the question: is it active job preference or an actively doing a "collect webs" task? I have no idea how to check this properly --Dorten 23:36, 16 December 2008 (EST)

They won't do the "collect webs" task if they don't have the weaving labor enabled. But I assume they have to be doing the actual task to be web-immune. You can test this by, say, having a miner with weaving enabled mine out a square on the far side of a web. (Turn off auto-loom in orders first.)--Maximus 16:20, 17 December 2008 (EST)
