World Builder 2 Logo
World Builder 2 is the successor to World Builder. It was discontinued after not getting enough income from the site. It is set in a jungle world and urban world and is significantly more difficult than its predecessor (but much shorter). There are a total of 24 missions, 12 in each world. You can still play the game on an Archived URL here or at the original URL. Alternatively, it can be downloaded from http://biomediaproject.com/bmp/lmp/games/ (in part 3) to play offline.

The rest of the enemy units are listed in World Builder.
Terrain
Normal terrain (also known as land) can be crossed by any land unit, and has no hazards on it. It is always green in colour, and is the most common type of terrain.Rocky, or mountainous terrain is harder to cross, and only a few land units are able to do it, including the Dirtbuggy. Rocky terrain does not harm the unit that is driving over it, but can be an obstacle if no available units are able to get across it. There is a third type of land terrain (swamp), which is hazardous. Any land unit is able to drive over it, however, it will damage any unit that does so.
There are two types of water; shallow and deep. Units that are able to travel both on normal land and water are usually only able to go on shallow water, and not deep. Any water-only unit can go into deep water, except the Marina, which can only be built in shallow water. Water Crabs can travel in both shallow and deep water, but Alligators can only move in shallow water.
A special type of terrain is the whirlpool. It counts as shallow water, and so can only be accessed by units that can move onto such terrain. The whirlpool will instantly transport any unit that goes into it to another predetermined whirlpool on the level. They can be used for avoiding enemies, saving battery, and in some cases are necessary for the completion of the level.
Parts
In World Builder, there are different parts in the levels. These include: Red Bricks, Green/Lime Bricks, Blue Bricks, Yellow Bricks, Batteries, and Tires. When building a unit, you use parts in the square it is being built in along with parts from adjacent squares. When a unit runs out of battery due to being attacked or you deconstruct it, the parts go on the ground. Batteries that are partially used up can be recharged by certain stations but in most levels there aren't any such stations.
Batteries
Batteries are necessary for most units, with the exception of non-movable units other than Guard Towers. Each unit uses battery at a different pace, so a Treebot will expend it's full battery much more quickly than a Defender. If any unit is attacked (with the exception of the Defenders, Speedboats and Guard Towers) it will lose all of it's battery and break in one hit. If it runs out of battery on it's own it remains built but is useless. Batteries can be recharged by Robot Labs, Marinas, and Gas Stations. An enemy unit that runs out of battery will also be destroyed, although instead of a useless empty battery it will have a full one. Defenders' and enemy units' batteries will run out more slowly, taking "damage" with each attack.(Please note: the batteries are shown in the what is needed to build each unit. It is the small, grey brick that looks like a washer with a "lightning" bolt on the front.)
Blueprints
At the start of each level, you have a certain number of blueprints (although sometimes you only start with a unit and no blueprints). You use these to make units and you have a maximum number. Throughout levels there are often blueprints at different and usually important locations, allowing you to build more of the units.
Goals
The goal often requires you to reach it with a specific unit, or unit type, although in many cases any unit (or sometimes an enemy unit, instead of your own) will suffice. The goal is represented by an exclamation mark, and when you reach it you are given the option of doing the level again, finishing, or doing the bonus "challenge". If you do the bonus challenge, the flag that shows you conquered the level will have a star on it as well. The bonus point, represented by a star, is often more difficult to get to than the goal, and usually requires different units to reach it than the original goal.
Worlds
There are 2 worlds (the first being jungle-themed and the second being urban-themed) with 12 different levels in each world. Like the previous game, playable levels appear with a question mark. Once the level is beaten, the question mark is replaced with a flag. Completing the bonus goal will add a star to the flag.
