Shaft Strength `volumetric_light.shaft_strength_x`	How bright the shafts of sunlit air and fog are against shade. Higher values make the shafts stronger and the fog brighter.	0.5 to 2 times the game’s value	`1`
Volumetric Quality `volumetric_light.quality_choice`	How finely the light in the fog is worked out. High keeps thin shafts through leaves sharper and costs more frames.	One of `low`, `medium`, `high`	`medium`
