Tutorial-FFXIVMinion v1.5 "Gathering Unspoiled Nodes"

I do have a question though :O

From what I understand, if you set an "Idle" location, it will try to gather in that location.
What I did then was set a an unspoiled marker in Costa.
I treated it like a normal marker and set it to the area I wanted my character to gather at when idle (water crystals).
I then set the new location with a filler time and at the idle marker I want it gather at, along with which class they should be.

However, what mine is doing is that if what I gathered previously before it idles was a different gathering class, it sometimes won't switch classes.
For example, I was getting clusters as a Miner in Mor Dhona and I port to my idle map after for gathering, but it won't change classes to Botanist and stays a Miner.
Then what it proceeds to do (another thing I noticed) was that since it is a miner, it goes and runs to the nearest mining node and starts mining shards.
This is not too huge of a problem since it's at least making use of idle time, but I just noticed it and wondered if that's how it's supposed to work.
Sometimes, it doesn't do this though. It will just stay a Miner and stand there doing nothing. It feels random and I never know what it will do when it's in the Idle zone.

And that transitions to my final question--when you set a map to idle gather at, do you have any choice about which nodes you get to gather at?
Or will it just choose the nearest available nodes?

I'm having a similar problem. I only have miner at 50, so I had it set to mine, then idle in South Shroud, where the idle marker is set to BTN to gain experience. I chose what nodes to gather in the downtime by just editing the normal marker in the zone for BTN to use the 35 node with flax priority. This worked like a charm, until tonight, and I'm not sure what changed. Before, it would port to the idle spot, change to BTN, and gather til the next unspoiled node, and teleport/switch back to miner, then repeat. But now it will not change to BTN when it teleports to the idle marker, instead it stays on miner and will run across the map to gather black alumen, which is what I currently have my normal marker set to in that zone for miner.

I've made no changes to anything, all I did was log out and close the bot for a few hours to do a coil run on my main, and upon logging back in, it no longer works the same way. I've tried reloading modules, reloading the game, redid the idle marker, and changed the order of the gearsets (and updating them in the bot) and nothing has worked. If i change the gear manually, it will begin to gather flax like it should, but once the next node spawns, it'll teleport and just sit there until I change it back to miner.
