@IronHorse pointed out, that Gorge Tunnel placing is restricted on nav mesh (where Drifters and MAC's can move) and other criteria. This change is new since patch 259, allowing only GT placement where Marines can reach it without JP.
However some GT can not be built now even if it would be easy to kill. I wan't to point out some:

(using 'nav_debug' sometimes to show nav mesh)

Decent - Shuttle Bay: (nav mesh is clearly around)

Refinery - Smelting: (nav mesh missing)

I'm sure there countless other places, some have never worked and some since 259. Please post them in this thread too.

    Just about everywhere in Cave (mineshaft). There's only a few places around the hive where it does work.

    You could hardly place tunnels in Cave even before 259 :p

    @hozz I dont mind them posted here too.

    I'm using a neat spot in Cave (near Harvester, in front of "tunnel-vent"), so I didn't mention Cave.

    I found this change a fail when I read it.
    These pictures make me even less happy about it all.

    I think the change is proportionate, as long as no-research needed on GT and of course various 'ok' places get unlocked.

    This should be a "nav mesh issues" thread, really.

    Feel free to add to it as much as possible with screenshots of nav_debug turned on. I'll forward them all to the proper mapper.
    Thanks!
