... might as well bring up that point now: A naming convention.
I agree with your suggestion: Probably best if we start every module name with "M120", but having trouble with deciding what sort of construction we should add behind that. I am up with every fitting name for your module, but open for suggestions / idea's / discussion on that ...
This is probably way more complicated than it needs to be (or that anybody wants to put up with), but to get the ball rolling I’ll suggest M120 – Type, Join Points and Size.
Type: Side, Corner, Loop (considering a Portal as a form of Loop).
Join Points: Since we’ll have nothing but squares/rectangles, there are two possible Join Points per side. Starting on the North edge going counter-clockwise you have N1, N2, E3, E4, S5, S6, W7 and W8.
Size: The size of the of the actual module minus any “extra” boards that could be deleted without harming the module.
Using oknotsen’s modules on the DLS as examples:
M120 - module example 1 (1 baseboard, basic),<kuid:645812:12005> M120 - Side, E4-W7, 1x1
M120 - module example 2 (2 baseboards),<kuid:645812:12006> M120 – Side, E4-W7, 2x1
M120 - module example 3 (1 baseboard), <kuid:645812:12007> M120 – Side, E4-W7, 1x1
M120 - module example 4 (2 baseboards),<kuid:645812:12008> M120 – Side, E4-W7, 1x2
M120 - West end loop,<kuid:645812:12002> M120 – Loop, E4, 1x1.
Yes Virginia, us old retired geezers have way too much time on our hands.
