When working on ground, avoid being on building (wooden floor). Try to stand on natural floor

Yes, it happens to me as well. It's not much of a bother, safe for esthetics of course. Sometimes there'll be ground in a 1/3 of the storage barn, sometimes part of the building will magically float in the air

Me too for problem in front of draugr longhouse, no matter what I do I can not level it out, keeps going bumpy again. I know how to use the hoe properly etc, just something weird with the longhouse.

I am fortunate I guess in that it only affects this strip of earth near the entrance to my Draugr Longhouse.

This is what happend in my friend world as well.
Actually it was the opposite as the ground colapsed for him.
He manage to fill it up and before it colapsed again he paved a stoneroad over it.
After that he did not had the problem anymore.

I run up against this a lot when undermining copper. I have found that if you just widen your hole a bit and then come back later, sometimes you can dig down further.

Had that happen in a previous draugr village I "pacified" and then tear down their buildings, expanded the terraces they stood upon and then built my tavern.

On one terrace the ground bulged, I had to flatten it repeatedly, but eventually, when I started building over it, the problem went away.

Its interesting that you mention that this error was near a draugr village/house. I experienced the same thing in a draugr village as well with the ground under a small hut in the village on one seed.

I have since learned to never level ground unless it absolutely necessary. When building structures, I now submerge 45 degree wooden beams into the soil as foundational supports for the corners of a building. When selecting a patch of land for growing foodstuffs I make sure it is flat enough to require little or no levelling. The main reason I now do this is levelling ground is cause and effect for massive fps drag. Our first main base and HQ was levelled extensively and has become a nightmare for gameplay. The fps drops from 60 to 4-14, making it impossible to perform even the simplest of tasks. Subsequent bases where we refrained from levelling the earth experience no drop in frames per second.

I think these things can be glitches and small bugs. My friend had it also, but it also seems to be more common sometimes when playing with a friend, like campfires just exploding and such, or more like someone just took the campfire down.

The ground raises to the height you are standing on. If you are standing on higher ground, then the hoe will raise the ground. If you stand on lower ground, the hoe will lower the ground.

True.
