What are Points of Interest in Last Train Home?
A Point of Interest is a location marked on your world map while you're travelling in the train. You can interact with these by assigning units to squads and sending them out to each Point of Interest. This is where their traits will come in handy and you can also gather a lot of XP from these expeditions. The Points of Interest themselves have a lot of variety.
They vary from combat missions to gathering missions and other interactions that involve trading or helping out the locals. These interactions provide a lot of immersion in the locale and bring the area to life. Interacting with these on a frequent basis is crucial in gathering resources. For example, if you're low on wood you'll want to go to a Point of Interest with lots of wood available.
Your combat scenarios are also handled through the Point of Interest system as you get to ignore or partake in side missions that are displayed through this system. Note that not all Point of Interests are visible on the map and you can run into hidden ones while your squads are out and about.
