How to Fast Travel / Use Autopilot in Lou's Lagoon

Repair radio towers, unlock autopilot, and avoid the map-click mistake reported in long-form play.

Quick answer

Fast travel is tied to the island radio towers. Retail tips say each island has a broken tower; after you find it and talk to Bobster, repair it with the requested materials. That unlocks autopilot, letting you travel instantly instead of manually flying the whole route.

If fast travel looks unlocked but does nothing

A long-form reviewer reported a UI quirk: clicking the map sometimes failed because the pointer landed on an NPC, quest or tower icon rather than open map space. Their workaround was to zoom the map and click a clear spot belonging to the destination area. Treat the exact pointer behavior as a tested player report, not an official control rule.

Fast-travel checklist

1. Find the island radio tower.
2. Talk to Bobster and read the material requirement.
3. Gather/process the requested materials.
4. Complete the tower repair.
5. Open the map and select the destination/autopilot target.
6. If the click is swallowed by another icon, zoom in and click clear map space.

Manual seaplane flight remains available, so repairing towers is a convenience/progression upgrade rather than removing the flying system.
