Very bottom of website gives you the way to do it…  
[http://www.stonehearth.de/weblog/blender/manual-english/manual-2-workflow#22](http://www.stonehearth.de/weblog/blender/manual-english/manual-2-workflow#22)  
You basically need to set the origins of the parts of your character in the place you want to pivot around.  
[Voxel\_Pirate’s tutorial on animation with origins](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/guide-from-a-picture-to-an-animation/1702/38)  
Then add helper bones. (Website I posted above has all of the information somewhere…)  
Then export as skeleton.  
This one of @voxel_pirate’s videos has the placement of the helper bones of a female settler. (toward the end)

(root, body position, main hand, off hand)(I think you need root and body position for anything…)  
I figured out how to do this a few weeks ago, but I am sill missing a lot of parts to be able to implement it into the game.
