World building can be a fun and creative hobby for those that have the patience required for the creative process. Good research and problem solving skills are required by anyone taking up this hobby. Many hours can be spent looking up information and details about a topic that is being incorporated into a design. The process many times will cause conflicts to arise within a design while it is being created which must be resolved before the project can be complete. Even the simplest of ideas can lead to hours of creative thinking and problem solving to make all the pieces fit just right.

Regardless of how simple or complex the idea is the first step is to define the scope of the project and the starting point. Projects can quickly take off and seem to grown and take on a life of their own. It is easy to feel overwhelmed when a project gets out of hand like this, but this can be avoided by being prepared and knowing the scope of a project. A project that takes on a life of its own and grows like this can be a very interesting and fun challenge when one is properly prepared for it. These projects can turn into the most interesting and fun times that could be had with this hobby.

Once the idea has been defined it is time to start into the research needed to explain everything in further detail. The best place to start is by researching what the main idea or concept is about and describing how things changed based on the main concept. This is where new ideas as well as problems and complications will arise and need to be addressed. When a problem with some detail comes up or a new idea develops it will need to be addressed. The first step is to document the idea and determine if it can be addressed within the scope of the initial project. If this concept will exceed the limits that are in place for this project then the idea will need to be placed aside and it can be addressed later when the time and resources can be devoted to its development. There have been times that a simple project lead into something far more complicated and well developed than it was meant to be initially.
