Axolotl Trail opens after River Dredging and requires Paiea's Private Exchange so the Hovercraft can reach the Wetlands. In the Wetlands, obtain one Pipe Repair Kit and its recipe, craft three more, and repair four broken pipe locations. Return to the Reservoir for the Lotus Prototype, then install it in the Environmental Modifier.
Finish River Dredging and the exchange prerequisite
The collected walkthrough places Axolotl Trail after River Dredging. It also ties Wetlands access to Paiea's Private Exchange and the repaired Hovercraft. If the route is closed, check those two progression states before searching for a missing pipe.
The exchange requires raw and Candied Wax Apples plus a Rusty Key according to the source pack. Complete that task before travelling so the transport step is available. Exact quest wording may differ in 1.0, but the progression chain is supported by multiple sources.
Enter the Wetlands and inspect the Reservoir
After the Hovercraft route opens, travel into the Wetlands and look for the stone monument and Reservoir. The quest flow uses those landmarks to frame the pipe-repair section. A 1.0 playthrough independently shows the Wetlands and broken-pipe work.
The research does not contain publishable coordinates for every objective. Follow current quest markers and record each landmark rather than inventing a map. The four-point route is a planned original asset.
Collect one Pipe Repair Kit and craft three more
The supported flow gives the player one Pipe Repair Kit together with the recipe. Use that first kit as the model, then craft three additional kits. Four total kits match the four documented repair points.
The exact crafting ingredients are not included in the supplied evidence and are therefore to be confirmed. Read them from the current recipe panel. Do not substitute an older material list from outside this source pack.
Repair all four broken pipe locations
Use one kit at each of the four broken pipes in the Wetlands. The overall count is supported by the written walkthrough and the recent 1.0 gameplay route. The exact coordinates have not been captured independently.
After each repair, check the quest counter before moving on. If the count does not advance, confirm that the correct interaction point was used and that the kit was consumed. A future map should label each position with an original screenshot.
Return for the Lotus Prototype
Once all four repairs are complete, return to the Reservoir and obtain the Lotus Prototype. The final documented step is installing that prototype in the Environmental Modifier. This connects the Wetlands repair route back to the broader restoration system.
If the prototype is unavailable, verify the repair counter and Reservoir interaction before leaving the area. The source pack does not support an alternate recipient or purchase route. Any different 1.0 prompt should be captured and treated as a version change.
Sources and evidence status
The sequence is cross-checked through the v0.96.08 task walkthrough, a current community main-quest index, Treaty Port notes and the 1.0 hundred-day video at 23:06-24:46 and 26:45-27:31. The video is an embedded reference, not redistributed media. Research was checked on August 11, 2026.
The quest flow is source-backed. Precise pipe coordinates and the current repair-kit ingredients remain pending original captures. Those gaps are labeled rather than filled with guessed directions.
