Should I have expanded to other biomes by now?

I play solo, and am level 50 on my only character on Olympus. So far, I've gotten to tier 4, and have a fairly robust power network, with electric deep drills, a greenhouse, a Terrenus, a Buffalo with a wooden cart, and a pack of like 7 wolves. I have done some of the missions with the Orbital Exchange Interface, and have gotten titanium tools, an Advanced Pistol and a Trench Shotgun with about 50 and 100 rounds each respectively, and the Naneo Armor.

However, I have not done either of the Desert or Artic biome Orbital missions, and I think the primary cause for that is that I feel like I am not prepared for the challenges they introduce, though, I feel like as I am almost at max level (I guess technically 73% to max level), I probably am overthinking it and should just send it. I just always have felt like there is more to do in my current Forest biome.

Obviously there is no "right way" to play the game so long as I am having fun, but, should I explore the other biomes now? Do most people explore those biomes sooner?
