Question
Will somebody find my base with their tools?
Community Answer
You should build the base in an area where people don't mine. They could find it with tools or by going in spectator mode.

Question
What if I build a base and I forget where it is, but I do not want to put anything near it because it will look suspicious?

You should go in spectator mode and find it. If not, plant a flower or tree nearby so you remember.
