The SetTimeOfDay is a console command in Ark: Survival Evolved which allows you to immediately change the current time of day in the game.

The way you use it is by typing SetTimeOfDay followed by the desired time. For example, cheat SetTimeOfDay 12:00:00 will set the time to noon, and cheat SetTimeOfDay 00:00:00 will set the time to midnight. The time is in a 24-hour format.
