i;ve heard alot about exploring
The 2 things that i think are true over the years are :-
-Exploring during dig times improves your chances of large planets
-Same applies for exploring during UW`s
Paid status we all know abt, virtually impossible to find 10k+ larges, and 1k+ barrens
Apaart from that i still think its pretty randomn
Aba though is the man with the bag of tricks, i`ve only explored 50k+ lol
