The easiest way to force players to destroy their old bases is to limit the amount of bases they can have. Make it 1 at the first levels or whatever, raise it once they're farther away from a starting area, but never let them build as many as they want, hard caps are a must in these types of games.

As for the blocky boxes, well, what did you expect? It's literally the easiest, fastest thing they can do, in an area they'll probably never return to. Why bother making something more homey or intricate?
