You can also make a small mesh covering only the nodes you want to gather from. Bot won't go where there is no mesh.

So much this.

Every gathering mesh I've made so far covers only the nodes I want with a CTRL-meshed path leading from my respawn point just in case I die.

Using CTRL to mesh smaller, more accurate areas for gathering is your friend. I find that the default large area meshing tends to occasionally mesh some bad spots that end with the bot getting stuck or going places I don't want it to. the default works great in a lot of instances, but it's that 1% of spots that don't play well that really bugs me (at least until we get the undo function coming with next update).
