StepFixElk is a Vintage Story mod by Kotl and tehtelev. StepFixElk improves elk movement on steep terrain, helping it climb higher blocks with less speed loss and reducing fall damage.

Why this mod is worth installing
This QoL patch is useful for players who ride or manage elk in mountainous areas and want movement to feel less awkward and punishing.
What StepFixElk adds
StepFixElk changes how the elk handles uneven terrain. It can climb taller blocks more effectively, so steep paths and mountain slopes interrupt its movement less often.
The patch also reduces the speed lost while climbing, allowing the elk to keep moving more naturally instead of slowing sharply at every elevation change. Falls are less damaging as well, making accidental drops safer for the animal.
