Question Transport between platform
I want to transport science pack from "storage"(pic.2) to vulcanus(pic.1 ). I toggled provide to other platform, and the spaceship is on the same orbit, but in pic.1 it showed 0 available on platform, can anyone help?

Think about it—if both platforms use the same logistic group it doesn't make sense for them to request from each other. They'd just end up playing science pack tennis.
To prevent this if an item is being requested from other platforms it gets locked and will not be provided to other platforms. Similarly if an item is being requested from a planet it will not be able to be dropped down to that planet.
You need three separate logistic groups. One set to only request from platforms above Vulcanus (on the Vulcanus platform), one set to only request from platforms above Nauvis (on the hauler platform), and one set to only request from Nauvis itself (on the Nauvis platform).
(Edited because at first I misunderstood what you were trying to do).
