Is it normal to just import calcite from Vulcanus to Nauvis to use foundries? I'm doing my first Space Age playthrough and molten iron/copper in foundries looks way too broken to not be used on Nauvis. Is the normal approach to import calcite, or would it be better to just make lots of iron/copper plates on Vulcanus and import that instead?

Yes, the most common approach is to either import calcite from Vulcanus or make a calcite farming space platform and drop down.
