Has anyone else had this problem?  I was never able to solve it and it still happens for me on the Steam release.

In the adventure mode graphics update, punching creatures in the stomach repeatedly gradually  improves their sprites until they look absolutely SICK

My adventurer found a civilized Giant by the name of Ala Goldesteemed in an old ruin. He had become a priest at some point and stopped his rampaging.  He had clothes (normally semi megabeasts don’t) and his socks alone weighed 30 urists, which he wore along side dozens of artifacts he had accumulated over the years.  He was a very friendly fellow and not at all hostile.  I tried to make him join the party but he refused because of his priestly duties.  I had no idea monsters like him could join civilization

Zuglar Wadedgilt, one of the original seven, legendary miner, jeweler, and engraver, finally succumbed to the rage which had been brewing inside of him since the death of his friend twenty years before.  He threw a tantrum and punched our Chief Weaver Ushrir in the neck so hard it broke her spine, killing her instantly.  The justice system had overlooked his previous tantrums, but murder?  This could no longer stand!  He was sentenced to a beating by Mûthkat, militia captain and close friend of the deceased, who killed him in the same way he killed Ushrir.  A very tragic day in Obotugosh.

Ushrir was the third of our chief weavers to die in this fortress; the other two had died of failed moods involving hard-to-obtain types of cloth.  Factor in how weirdly casualty-free this fort has been so far and it becomes strange that so many of our dead are master weavers.

In another fort, I recently learned that the experiment Athrab's Eyes which accompany every siege can launch an extract across the map which causes your skin to fall off and you to die.  Fun.  I will be dressing everyone in hazmat suits.

This is really helpful.  I'll test this in a bit and see if it works.

Does the error log say anything curious ?

My creature is just a copy-paste human with a different creature tile token, so that it's supposed to have an "n" instead of a "u", but instead it has nothing.

I spawned some cats in arena mode and they sort of just stood around, not exploring much at all.  If there is a token that controls how cats work, I think you're right.

What I often do, is copy an existing creature until I got it right.

Have you had this problem too?

You can build a pretty heavy empire out of it though.

As of now, before the economics update and with the arbitrary prices for everything, gold is mainly useful as a metal as valuable as steel but not quite so costly to make, and just a bit of quality gold furniture in a dwarf's room can really make their month.  I think that its mass makes it useful in artifact weapons and armor too.

In short, don't atom-smash all of your ingots.  Dwarves still think that it's pretty
