- It does, to a point. You can only raise or lower ground so far by levelling - the difference will have to be made up with raising or picking axing. Shift key will target height to target area rather than where you're standing.
- Every 46 minutes there is a 20% chance of a raid event when the player is within 40m(?) of a base structure. There's a list of base structures in the fandom wiki, includes things like benches camp fires and torches. New raid events unlock as you progress by killing bosses and certain enemies.
- Smelter - and all fire - will choke if smoke builds up near it. Smoke needs about a 2x2 hole to escape, despite being "smoke" it's actually large particles that won't pass through anything much smaller. Smoke will also dissipate over time, with enough height a chimney isn't needed. There's a good video on youtube detailing how smoke works.
- Beat it a few times, with different play styles and/or mods. Perhaps start playing earlier in the evening, and set an alarm to go to bed?
