Treasurehunter story location failed to generate

[TamTroll]

So i haven't really invested too much time in the story of this game, i haven't stumbled across anything or gone looking for anything, I'm still in the process of domesticating chickens and building a house. 

Apparently after this last update though, i was told that the "Treasurehunter" location was blocked by player-placed blocks. Now I've done a little bit of long-distance exploring in my world, but i didn't place much out there. Is the Treasurehunter supposed to be close to spawn?

Sooo.. Basically I'm stuck. I don't know what this is, where it's supposed to go, how far away from me it's supposed to be, if it's supposed to be underground or above ground, if placing it will destroy existing terrain, etc. And unless it's some new early-game thing you're supposed to encounter right away, i don't want to spoil myself on story content by knowing exactly where it is.

Can anyone provide me some more information on what this "Treasurehunter" thing is, where it's supposed to go, that kind of thing?

The treasure hunter everyone seems to be referring to(at least I think), is the new treasure hunter shack that can spawn in the world. It spawns similar to trader wagons, and the treasure hunter inside functions just like a standard trader. The difference is that other traders can sell you a map to these treasure hunter shacks, if you're otherwise having difficulty finding a treasure hunter.

I don't think it matters where you place one; multiple can spawn in the world, and they don't seem to have any particular distance from spawn or anything. They seem to have the same general spawn parameters as other traders. 

In any case, I'm guessing the main reason that no one is finding them in old worlds, is that perhaps new chunks need to be generated for them to exist in, but I'm not entirely sure. You won't be spoiling anything by spawning one in though.

Gotcha, if it's just a trader then i should be okay then, i was planning on making a sailboat to travel long-distances in the future anyways. So if he can spawn in more then one location, i should be fine.
