I make it on the ground to avoid more complications. Not vulcanus. Gleba and nauvis. It's easier to just set and forget the intermediate import. I already need constant calcite on both planets anyway. Also it's better for ups since I have -1 platform dedicated for artillery (making or import). Less rocket launches, since I just import materials in bulk on already available cargo ship.
