Friendly Factions:
Starts out with just a Biome Trader
In the biome trader notable NPCs will hang out and offer a special job at an unmarked POI to clear it out and provide some raw materials to an on site crate.
These will expand out into more Faction POIs that take the place of a new unmarked POI
Three types of Friendly Faction POIs
Fighting POIs
Industrious POIs
Housing POIs
Fighting and Industrious POIs will be ran by the notable NPC that behaves similar to the Biome Trader, along with a few worker NPCs. If a worker NPC dies they’ll have a slowly replenishing workforce.
Housing and Industrious POIs will repair (reset) every 10 days, Fighting POIs repair every horde night.
Fighting and Industrious POIs can be upgraded through tiers 1-5, Housing POIs can be upgraded through tiers 1-3
The looks and layouts of the Friendly Faction POIs are dependant on the unmarked POI they are renovated from.
