Suggestions for a non-survival building game with a similar scale/level of detail to Lego Worlds?

I've found myself with this interest once more, and looking about, it seems like there's still not much like ol' Lego Worlds.

However, I'm hoping I may be overlooking something right in front of me, and no, from what I've seen, Lego Fortnite is not that option. Non-generated world I think, different building style, simply a different sort of game despite the same branding.

Minecraft - possibly modded for more variance - in peaceful mode or kreative Mode can do that

I too wish Lego Worlds didn't just die as soon as it released. It truly could have been something great. Instead all we get are prefabs and a slashed parts list (no brackets, wheels, specialty parts) along with 90s build techniques (no brick rotation on y axis, no wheels to make your own vehicles and such). They really should have just made it Lego Garry's Mod.

That said, like another comment said there's Scrap Mechanic, or just straight up GMod; I know there are mods on the steam workshop for different Lego things, one of which is a small brick pack with full accurate collision.

You should take a look at the Dragon Quest builders games. Depending on your platform you might be able to try the demo out.

Thanks! I have them, but the scale of the pieces isn't similar, albeit the perspective is kinda close.

Scrap mechanic was originally creative only and has a very detailed building system, with the addition of circuitry and moving parts

SM is honestly pretty robust for what it looks like on the surface. Some of the creations on the workshop are just insane.

No man’s sky has a creative mode

Minecraft with mods?

Base game probably doesn't have the level of detail you want, but with mods for either specalized detail blocks, or something more generic like Chisel and Bits or Carpenter Blocks, it should be possible to make something close to what you want pretty easily.

+1 on Chisel and Bits (not to be confused with just Chisel, which is also a great mod, just not for this)

I've seem some absolutely stunning detail work done in C&B. It's definitely a labour intensive endeavor, though. If you've got a good eye for design, the sky is the limit.

Perhaps look into Space Engineers in creative mode? Although you can't "build" the terrain and it does have it's own sci-fi art style.
