Alright, let me give you an example of worldbuilding
I'm writing a novel about a guy who accidentally wanders in his truck into magic universe, because a magic army opened a portal to invade the Earth, but because magic and metals do not like each other, him accidentally entering that portal shuts it down and he gets kicked somewhere else within that world
now, the worldbuilding part
what is the background of this invading empire
why do they need to invade nearly magicless universe such as ours
what other powers are on that planet
things like these = worldbuilding
you create relationships between magic countries
you ask these questions, seek the answers, and only when your world holds together well enough can you actually focus on writing
because if you don't do that, it'll eventually come to bite you in the ass
in first season Goaulds have space ships that travel 10 times speed of light only
only at the end of season 1 / start season 2, Apophis apparently cracked super fast FTL that's like 10-100 000 times speed of light
yet later within the SG 1, we learn that Asgards were forced to sign treaty with Goaulds because they had to focus on fighting replicators
before season 2, one Asgard ship could wipe out entirety of Goaulds, because their ships are flying so slow it's not even funny
if you don't properly worldbuild before writing, your story will have inconsistencies like this
I mean, I still love stargate
