Where are the animations for players kept?

[JackyHann]

People talk about creating animations from that one sample idle animation mod, but I just wanna tweak the animations already there. No clue where they are or what type of file they'd be. 

Also I'd figured they'd be xml files, but everyone everywhere is saying the animations are in the anim.bin file of each zip. None of the characters zips have them though so maybe they're drawing it from one really specific place?

I don't know how to do much actual modding, but from my experience just extracting animations and such: I believe what you're looking for are the files labelled "player_"

There's... kind of a lot (this image isn't even 25% of them), i think because Klei tends to only add one or two new animations at a time, so you'll have to do some searching until you find the specific ones you're looking for.

I figured there’d be a million but I don’t mind, thank you!
