Free (and I think useful) worldbiulding guide I found

https://zeruhur.itch.io/worldbuilders-fractal

this specific guidebook talks about minimal worldbuilding geared towards optimizing conflict and story. oh, and one section mentions Scrivener! I haven’t tried it out yet but this looks like a sensible approach.

EDITED TO ADD

the most useful worldbuilding I have ever seen, in fact. though I also suggest having a look at the relevant chapters of Wonderbool: The Illustrated Guide to Creating Imaginative Fiction by Jeff VanderMeer.
