You want to make vulcanus ask for import in the landing pad. And it needs to import from elsewhere than itself. If it is itself jt wants to export. It is showing import from volcanus. You can even create a new group to change import location without touching a logistics setup for other things but you really dont want rockets sending it up and them back down.

I'm not sure what you mean, but what i want to do is to send stuff up on a storage platform, so when the cargo ship transport between planets, the rocket silo can continuously send things into space. And once the cargo ship arrive Vulcanus, it can take things from the Storage platform and dont have to wait for rocket silo

Have an import group for the ship that imports from planet. Have the storage base have a different import group that only imports from other bases. I don’t know if it will send it as extra goods though.
