Not sure how to best use "any" planet request

Hello,

I have a space platform that makes a circle between the inner planets and Aquilo. Among other things, it brings refined concrete to Aquilo. I have the refined concrete request set to "any planet" (blank) because I don't really care if it picks it up from Vulcanis, Nauvis, or Fulgora - they all make it. However, because it's set to "any planet", it won't drop it off at Aquilo, even though I have the same logistics group set on my Aquilo Cargo Landing Pad.

Is there a good way to make this work, or do I have to pick a planet for my imports to allow dropping at Aquilo?

"Any planet" works best for platform-consumables, like Magazines & Rockets (if not produced on-platform!).

You can use a Decider Combinator to "Set requests" to dynamically create Requests according to any condition that you like. This setup uses the "Read moving from/to" signal to create a request for 1,000 Refined Concrete when not at/travelling to/from Aquilo:

Here, the platform is headed to Aquilo; but still between Vulcanus-Gleba.
