You may have also heard, I know, it's a bit of a secret, but... Loftar used the same mapgen.
And sab don't even bullshit. There will always be water nodes out there that haven't been discovered.
It was a guess on my part. There's luck involved obviously.
The place I'm living in is hell for water. The entire lake I'm on doesn't have a single water node in it, I've spent hours searching. Within a 20 minute boating distance there's a single Q60+ water node (claimed down to Q10 I might add) and a smattering of Q20 or lowers.
That being said, where I first spawned in W5 there was 3 Q40+ nodes within 5 minutes boating distance.
But I agree with sab. It's true there'll always be unclaimed water nodes out there, but population density has been rising. The chance that the good Q nodes will be unclaimed is slowly dropping as world population increases.
P.S. My original guess was 3-4 Q60+ per supergrid, but I decided to play it a little more conservative. I'm starting to think that's a little low but you've got more experience than me. Throw out a number if you want.
