Judging by input from various writing forums, I'm a little too meticulous. I think not, at least not for me. I see the world as cycles, connections, and tiny sensory details most people don't notice. Mountains and deserts don't just form wherever, certain plants only grow in certain places, and cultures evolve from other cultures. My notes start with the size of our Earth and facts about the internal structure, but I don't change anything more in-depth than plate tectonics. Too much math when you change the circumference or axial tilt. Was gonna try starting the tectonics from the beginning, but that's also too much math. I do topography-based weather patterns to place climates and biomes, and cultural timelines in 2500 year increments from 10,000 BC-0, and 250 year increments from 1 AD-1750 AD. If I don't, I'm too plagued by logical inconsistencies to write, but if I put in the effort, the goats and cocaine are naturally in all the right places. How meticulous do others get?
