        proc/Create()
            while(PixelX != 29 && PixelY != -12)
                world<<"Debug: Starting pixel creation"
                if(PixelX == 29)
                    world<<"Debug: Next Line"
                    PixelX = -11
                    PixelY -= 8
                PixelX += 8
                o = new /obj/White
                o:pixel_x = PixelX
                o:pixel_y = PixelY
//              new o


Im pretty uneducated when it comes to object creation within DM. (Because im lazy) Im trying to have it fill up a square with 4x4 blocks, without me having to place them. But this neither generates blocks, nor a viable solution. Im pretty sure it has something todo with the "o" part of it :P

o = new /obj/White

from what I can see in your code you dont set o as a var
so

var/obj/o = new/obj/White

and you have not placed it on the map or the screen

    Generator
        icon='Icons.dmi'
        icon_state="Black"

        var/PixelX = -11
        var/PixelY = 12
        proc/Create()
            while(PixelX != 29 && PixelY != -12)
                world<<"Debug: Starting pixel creation"
                if(PixelX == 29)
                    world<<"Debug: Next Line"
                    PixelX = -11
                    PixelY -= 8
                PixelX += 8
                var/obj/o = new /obj/White
                o.pixel_x = PixelX
                o.pixel_y = PixelY
                new o

With, "new o", I get this runtime error
runtime error: Cannot create objects of type /obj/White.
proc name: Create (/obj/Generator/proc/Create)
  usr: Strawgate (/mob)
  src: Generator (/obj/Generator)
  call stack:

Without "new o", I get this.
Debug: Starting pixel creation
Debug: Starting pixel creation
Debug: Starting pixel creation
Debug: Starting pixel creation
Debug: Starting pixel creation

but nothing appears :O

o isn't given a location.

It looks like its putting it into the variable, but not actually creating it.
