Hey all.

Not sure if I am missing something obvious but is there a way to get vehicles to use tunnels? For example, the transporter load/unload route. Annoying thing just drives around it :(
 
It seems to be a pathing bug where they don't use tunnels unless there is no other path they can take. ie: Up to a plateau.
 
the pathfinding AI is really minimal, if you send them somewhere, they go straight line, even if an obvious hill or other blockage is in way, and then slowly follow the edgy of the blockage until they can follow straight line, instead of finding the (semi) optimal route first and then moving on it. If the tunnel is far from there point in straight line movement, they might even not use it ever, getting just stuck on an edge without manual control for the tunnel.
 
Not just me then, that's good in some way I guess. I have noticed the arguably terrible pathing as well, bloody rover got stuck in a cliff and couldn't get out. The pilot simply couldn't be dissuaded from going in a straight line it seems! I must say these bugs and design oversights are really not doing it for me.
Thanks for the info.
