Exactly. Another way to look at a builder world is to see a place that's a conglomerated mish-mash of all your favorite ideas, plot elements, characters, personalities, technology, magic, etc all bundled up into a gigantic soup and gleaned for ideas through a process of mix and match, almost like pulling from a gigantic grab bag. Just reach in, pull out ideas, and then try them over and over again in various scene settings until you find something you like, after which you simply write about them.
