Therefore, you need to create a way for the smoke to escape your base without also allowing rain to get in and put the fire out. Campfires generate smoke, and without ventilation, you'll choke on the smoke and take damage until death.Campfires that you need for cooking and warmth can't be placed on floors, but you can get around this by destroying a floor piece, placing a campfire on the dirt underneath, and then adding the floor piece back.Don't be afraid to demolish a structure piece to reposition it if necessary, as you'll get all of your materials back when you do so.You can also connect different parts of your base together with beams to achieve a similar effect. You can do this by connecting parts of your structure to the ground with beams.


Additions can't be made to pieces that are red, so make an effort to keep your base structure supported.Blue is the most stable, while red is the least. These colors represent structural stability. When you look at a structure piece you've placed while in build mode, you'll notice a color - blue, green, yellow, orange, or red.To do this, simply snap floor pieces to the walls above your first-floor walls and then build stairs that connect to that floor. If you made your base high enough, you can add a second floor.Then connect additional roof pieces across the top of your base to finish. Finally, connect roof pieces that match the angle of your slanted walls to the inside edge of said walls.Fill in the holes underneath the slanted pieces with normal walls. Raise the walls as high as you'd like by snapping more wall pieces on top of existing walls, and then top the walls off with slanted triangular wall pieces that connect to form a point. You can snap wall pieces to the floors to get started on your walls.It's a good idea to start by placing your floor first, as this gives you a stable, sturdy foundation to work on.The hoe levels based on where you're standing, so find a height you like and stand still while leveling the ground around you. You can then use the hoe to level out a nice flat spot for your base. After you craft your hammer and build a workbench, build some small walls and a roof around it so you can craft a hoe (5x Wood, 2x Stone) with it.
