It should be mounting up if the nodes are far enough away from each other. If they're close enough, it will move to them on foot.
Nope still having the issue profile set to make nodes ever 4 yalms... arc distance at 6 radar delay 30ms and zoom factor to 3x I set my use mount box checked and mount distance to 2.5 and still not using mount... also having issues with occassionally gatherbot runs back and forth between nodes...
Did you make your own profile? If so, mind posting it or PM me a link to it? Those sound like settings that were used way back in the day, but no longer are.
