Issue Regarding Treasure Hunter

[wurms]

Hi hello I have played this game for ~200 hours, though this is my first forum post. Asking here because I don't use discord anymore.

I started my world back in 1.20 I believe, I just came back after a hiatus and an issue has come up regarding story structure generation (don't worry no spoilers in this post)

An in-game pop-up notified me that the treasure hunter trader failed to generate due to interference from player-built structures. It recommended going into creative mode to place one manually.

I have found many traders in my world (back when they were in wagons :p), but never a treasure hunter. I even bought a map from a nearby commodity trader that said it would lead to a treasure hunter outpost. Upon using the map however, it kept throwing error messages in the chat log that it the map couldn't find a location or whatever (don't remember the exact wording) so that was a bust.

I don't want to bother with that and would instead rather find one naturally. My question is this: do treasure hunter traders still spawn naturally like they used to? If I explore enough new chunks is it possible to find one? I am not sure if the game considers them "unique" and will only try to generate them once (as the in-game popup implied was the case for other story locations).

If anyone knows if I can still find a treasure hunter 'naturally' please let me know!

They still spawn normally. They just added a "story location" treasure hunter so you don't have to hunt for it. I had one world where I had to travel 6k to find a treasure hunter. Since it is random you can have very bad luck. If you bought the map, I suggest you just go into creative mode and just load in a treasure hunter trader in another traders area and call it a day.
