You're likely running out of available RAM. How much RAM does your computer have? Is your page file enabled? And what size world are you attempting to create?

Also is it hard crashing(As in, automatically closing itself without you doing anything), Or are you assuming that it crashed when it reaches a certain point in generation due to it not showing the progress bar? I believe it's the 'Generating Cities' step that omits the progress bar atm; but it's still actually processing even if it doesn't seem like it.

With 32 gigs of ram, you shouldn't be running out of ram, so it's likely that you're misunderstanding that it froze.. When it reaches the (again, i think 'generating cities') step, there's no progress bar and the game sometimes, to Windows' perspective, goes 'not responding'. But it is in fact still doing stuff in the background.

Try generating a world again, but this time when windows says it's not responding just tell it to wait and leave it for awhile- World generation from start to finish can take anywhere from 10 to 45+ minutes depending on the overall specs of your computer.

Yes- However once generated, a world can be reused in the future without any generation time, similar to the Navezgane map which is handcrafted by the devs, and the Pregen## maps which are just pregenerated random maps included with the game so you can jump right in.

So you only need to generate a new world when you want a fresh world you know nothing about. Since you're new to the game, you could very easily just play Navezgane and have a blast; Or do one of the Pregen worlds and experience a random world instead without any generation time.
