The artillery wagon is an end-game wagon that can be added to a train. It fires artillery shells over large distances, either automatically at nearby bases, or at manually designated targets.
In automatic mode, when the train isn't moving, the artillery wagon will automatically scan for enemy buildings (biter nests and worms) and shoot at them. Tragets can be manually designated by clicking on the ground (or on the map or zoomed map) using an artillery flare. For each click, an artillery wagon in range will fire once at the target. Firing at the biters from far away isn't all consequence free, as they will come running to the wagon, so it there should be some defences nearby, or the player should be prepared for a quick getaway.
The artillery wagon can fire while stopped at a train stop, but not when stopped at a red signal. When a train with an artillery wagon is stopped at a train stop, aiming and shooting counts as activity for the purposes of "X seconds of inactivity" departure conditions in the train's schedule.
