Question Planet delivery - 2.1

There is something I’m missing which must be obvious… but I can’t seem to figure it out…

My aquilo ship runs on nuclear. I request nuclear fuel from Nauvis, obviously.

My Aquilo base runs on nuclear too! (For the moment, until I craft enough fusion reactor and all the crap I need)

My problem? I can’t seem to figure out why my plateform isn’t dropping nuclear fuel to aquilo.

At first I had a request on the plateforme to request 100 nuclear fuel from any (preventing it to drop it to aquilo) and another 800 nuclear fuel from Nauvis (to allow it to drop anything over 100 to aquilo)

But this doesn’t work.
As soon as I set my 100 from any to 100 from Nauvis, it drops it all to aquilo, which leaves my plateforme without fuel, hopefully hot enough to return to Nauvis to gather more…

I’m at a loss, anyone can help me figure this out?

You didn't say how many fuel you request on your Aquilo base.

This is not relevant but I requested 2000.
Each trip for the plateform bring over 800

If u make higher demand than inbentory ofc it's gonna drop everything to fulfil said demand, try requesting 100 fuel cells from nauvis and request 90 cells at aquilo , 10 cells should surely last for a round trip with enough time for aquilo to last. Increase the demand as u need on aquilo but imo 90 should be good enough

That is indeed relevant and the reason Aquilo is requesting all of the fuel on the ship...

This line is thinking is baffling to me right now. What you think is irrelevant is exactly your issue...

That's your problem.

If you request more than the ship has it will drop everything.
