Can you change time of day in editor?

i guess it's not a bug but it is an issue, i've started over twice now after sailing for hours irl, days in-game, and haven't come across any land mass other than the starter island. Perhaps the ocean is too big for the map, or land is too shallow to find islands. i don't know but it's an issue that's taking the fun out of it. People tell me follow the birds, i see no berds, and the land below water has hills but none quite large enough to stick out the water.

started over again, starved again after like e 12 days ingame on the ocean atleast i finally spawned on a tropical island so i'll stay here atleast till i can find clay and make a map

i will try to spot some birds from up on a hill then, fingers crossed. but once i'm on the water i see no birds flying. ty everyone for the tips

No i did not have a map made i just stayed on the same course for hours, aproximately. some people on youtube travel for a bit and boom another island, map showing a whole cluster. am i just having bad luck with maps?
