Does that mean we need Sol installed?
Yes, you need Sol and the shaders patch. Probably content manager too.
Get the latest beta versions from their respective discord channels.

Short guide
While you should be able to drag/drop the shaders patch into CM, I've found the last few versions to install, but not show up in the mod list, so:
- Open the shaders zip (currently preview 49) and you'll see a MODS folder.
Drop that folder into your AC install directory.
- Drag/drop the Sol zip (currently 1.1 beta 6 OR Alpha 7.4 if you want lightning during a storm) into CM and install by clicking the three green stripes at the top right which will have turned green.
- Navigate to the Content>Mods tab and enable the shaders patch, then activate Sol. It will overwrite elements of the shaders patch.
There are a few checkboxes to look at in the shader patch options, but you're good to go for now.
