An existing world
Most sandbox settings apply to an existing world at the next start. Some only shape new parts of the map as they load, such as loot already spawned or buildings already looted; those apply to areas nobody has visited yet.
Questions
Do I need to wipe the world to change sandbox settings?
No. Change them and restart. Settings that decide what spawns affect areas loaded after the change.
