I've been browsing around OrbitHangar lately and I noticed that, apart from Greg Burch's neat (Orbital) Station Building Blocks, there seems to be no decent "surface base" building blocks equivalent, at least in quality of module mesh/textures. I am aware of the appeal of having the ability to build your own orbital station from scratch by hauling them up to a planetary/moon orbit and carefully assembling them there. But do you think there would be enough demand for a "surface base building blocks" set? If so, can we start a list of features perhaps, that should be available in such an addon? Or is there a similar project already in the works?
The kind I envision would basically rely on large-capacity freighters like the XR5 Vanguard or Greg's Big Spaceplane or UCGO-related addons, but it has to be flexible enough so that even smaller unmanned craft addons can also carry individual modules/parts.
UPDATE: Well I eventually found one at OrbitHangar, Momo and Jekka's HLV: Lunar Base v1.2a. I will try it first to see if it's worth to "update" it or perhaps make a more enhanced one.

Also, my idea for modules is that they are universal and can be used on any rocky world (i.e. moon, Mars, Venus, Ceres, Callisto, etc.), and not only the moon.
