That would be so interesting. They'd have to automate almost everything.

Can they not be allowed to leave as well? I'd enjoy watching that petri dish. A billion dollars doesn't mean much without disparity.

They'd be screwed the first time they needed a sink unclogged or a tire changed. Assuming they even got as far as building structures that didn't collapse immediately.

It would go bad way before that. These people wouldn't clean up after themselves.

They'd certainly think it's possible. Like a game of Factorio. But what they wouldn't consider is that the protagonist in that game is fully capable of doing all the work by hand.
