I have started a new sandbox game and have been playing for about 2 hours, but it never gets night time, when watching videos of other players playing, it usually gets night every 10 ~ 15 minutes I think!

is this a bug in the game or do I need to enable night in the game?
I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks

Sandbox mode asks when the map starts if you want to do a couple things, like research all techs, free items, cheat mode, and always day. You probably hit yes to the last one. You should be able to undo it from editor mode with the /editor command.

A quick check shows it sets the 'Always render as day' box checked, uncheck it and night's normal.
