Picking up a fallen colonist needs several distinct efforts: bend down, pull them close, then rise while bringing them onto a shoulder.

The first animation pass missed that rhythm. It also let the rescuer lower someone behind their own back.



Turning toward the bed fixed the direction, but separating the shoulder roll from standing introduced another awkward moment: the patient was already over the shoulder while the rescuer remained crouched.



The next correction overlaps the rise with the shoulder transfer, and reverses that coordination when setting someone down. During the carry, the hands support the patient's legs in front instead of reaching for the torso hanging behind.

The owner also spotted a problem after the rescue was over.





The arm solver could rotate an elbow in three directions, but ordinary walking reset only one. The correction clears the leftover rotations in walking and rest, and reduces the resting elbow bend.



The owner accepted the improved pickup and drop-off, but the walking and sleeping arms still looked wrong.



There was a second cause: the model's upper arms already angled outward, and the animation added more outward rotation. The neutral pose now accounts for that built-in angle.



The checks now measure the visible hands through the walking and sleeping animation, alongside the existing rescue checks for front carrying grips and overlapping lift movements. Facing checks still cover all four bed orientations and ground landings, with saving and loading during the turn and set-down.



## Open questions

These movements are authored. Physical ragdolls and strength-based dragging remain for a later slice. The revised motion still needs the owner's judgment during ordinary play.
