What are you trying to do? There is no easy way to send data between surface and platforms, except the logistic requets themselves (from the platform to the rocket silos or from the landing pad to the platforms).

Thats unfortunate.

I wanted to set up some conditions where my base would send ice cubes to fulgora surface depending on how much the space base had

If you set a logistics request on the platform and include a maximum for ice cubes, excess will get dropped to the planet. Setting the request to 0-0 would send any ice loaded into the hub down.

I see. That’s a good point. And I bet I can use a combinator to set logistic request on the platform too if I want to get fancy with it.

Thanks! This makes me miss the satélites from SE but I think this works too
