There could be an agreement for connections in the vertical plane too, so the
base could stack in that dimension, not just horizontal.

then everyone turns up with a variety of modular buildings on plates that can
be connected together as a giant space base.
Not necessarily using space pieces, but they are obvious adornments to the
buildings

It could be a surface based space base, or a modular orbiting space station.

just like some would envisage a real space station (at least in sci-fi movies
