Finally did it! improved the mining animation:

Looks better, but I think the hands would come together as the axe reached the zenith of the swing. So as the axe reaches the vertical axis, the hands would slide together for maximum fulcrum force on the down swing. (The right hand would slide down the shaft to meet the left hand, which is stationary on the shaft).

Mime out the motion and see if what I'm saying makes sense.

Did that and it looks kinda the same but applying logic that works only if you have an axe.

Ie: when i used to work in my house shoveling and using a pickaxe, i recall that if you dig with a shovel soft sand the shovel it goes through easily, however you can't do that to a hard surface, the impact will be the result of your strength hitting the rock + the strenght of the rock hitting back wich will impact in your arm so if you have a two head pickaxe you don't want to hold it with the hands in the tip, you want to hold it at both extremes for have a better control and resistance agaisn't the impact. otherwise the impact could return the pickaxe straight to the eye.

I'll defer to your first hand experience.

Suggestion: Maybe make the end target of the pickax a little off the ground (visualizing a rock model being there)?

Added the actor's and variant fix, however im trying to upload the animations files.

@Alexandermb seems there was a little slip off with your commit. Can you fix it ?

Yep, i know, won't work with the animations (specially the swordsman) but connection issues. Also now i have this issue when trying to open the game:

Not yet, fixed updating the drivers, i may have an idea what caused that.

What was it ?

A message poped up in VLC media player when i opened a movie, i missclicked and that changed my whole desktop theme and since then the atlas didn't worked.

for a moment i also thought my gpu died but blender was working as usual so i know it wasn't gpu.

[Alexandermb]

@Stan` can you do me a favor  im tired of trying and every single time stops at 650-700 kbps: gather_mine.7z

[Stan`]

Will do Maybe not today though. Will have to check whether they have the right number of vertex groups.

Done. Still missing:

Some errors to be fixed

Thanks only the helmet to go

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

I think the new mining animation is mirrored (it's as if all units are now left handed).

[Stan`]

Well of course I forgot to check that... I guess that's for all the lefties out there.

I'm one.

[wraitii]

With the phenotype system, we could have lefties and righties

(probably not the best use of the system though)

@Alexandermb apparently on addition to the missing helmet some units also lose helmets when gathering as reported there https://code.wildfiregames.com/rP22839

Can you look into it ?

i belive @elexis meant to say that attack_slaugther shows helmet while others "resource_gathering" variants doesn't. i haven't seen any infantry yet, loosing helmet (permanently) after gathering neither after.
