Issue #31622: Several Issues (Damage in VATS, Radius, Force, Value) with the Nuka Quantum grenade

 
Main issue:
When shot at in VATS the Nuka Quantum grenade explodes with the Frag Grenade Explosion and therefor the wrong visual and only half the damage than when it explodes on its own.

Fix: In DLC04NukaQuantumGrenadeProjectile "Nuka Quantum Grenade" [PROJ:06040CE2] under 'Destruction Stage Data', the 'Explosion' entry should be changed from fragGrenadeExplosion [EXPL:000E574F] to DLC04NukaQuantumGrenadeExplosion [EXPL:06040CE1]
I tested and verified this fix with the Carhenge Behemoth as the test subject. You can also compare with other grenades, which all have their unique explosion set up as the Destrugtion stage Data and Data entry.


Minor/debatable Issues: The Explosion radius (Effective area) and Force (Ragdoll Strength) are very low.

In DLC04NukaQuantumGrenadeExplosion [EXPL:06040CE1]
Force: 2000
Inner Radius: 50
Outer Radius 200

Compare with nukaGrenadeExplosion [EXPL:000E5752]
Force: 20000
Inner Radius: 300
Outer Radius 700

for reference: fragGrenadeExplosion [EXPL:000E574F]
Force: 2000
Inner Radius: 150
Outer Radius 500

Suggested change: Use the values from the Nuka Grenade for the Nuka Quantum grenade as well.

Additional Note: The IR radius value is also rather low on the Nuka Quantum grenade, but this parameter's effect is unknown to me.
Some further reading (basically the mod where I found out about the issues with the radii): https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/33221

Final point: The NQG has a value of 50, compared to 100 for the Nuka Grenade, 135 for the Plasma Grenade and 50 for the Frag grenade. I feel the value of the NQG would be better at 100

Fix for the secondary issues.

Adjusts damage radius, scales mushroom visual, push force, IS radius, light illumination radius and grenade value to be in line with the Nuka Grenade.
A new entry was created for the light effect. It is identical to the original one except for the radius and FormID.
