Thanks for clarifying, Mattheodric! Let me share a bit of the "why" behind the current design.
First, as someone who automates things for a living, I naturally lean towards automated solutions. I actually really enjoy the "set and forget" aspect of it!
Second, my approach to modding is centered around adding or changing mechanics and behaviors. If Light Artillery had a remote, it would function almost exactly like the base game's artillery, just with different numbers (range, damage, cost). To me, simply making numbers go up or down isn't as interesting. I prefer maintaining distinct mechanical differences between the different tiers.
That being said, I completely understand that everyone enjoys different playstyles. I would be more than happy to accept a clean, well-written Pull Request that adds a remote option, provided it's hidden behind a configuration setting and defaults to "off".
Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback! ๐งก
