Is there a way to specify where the map will be generated?
I would like to generate a dungeon somewhere since I have my town in 0,0,0.
thanks in advance and apologies for the noob question.

A few ways you could do this. The easiest way would be to move the static container that all the spawned assets for the map are spawned into.
