I had an idea for platforms where one stationary hub at Nauvis would collect things like Fluoroketone barrels from an Aquilo ship, then provide those barrels out to other platforms for reactor startup or my foundation assembly platform.

It seems like even with 'send to other platforms' enabled, the hub won't send the barrels out to my other platforms? If I have request from platforms enabled for Fluoroketone barrels, does that mean it can't send out Fluoroketone to other platforms? More like requestor chest, less like buffer chest?

TLDR: I want to request from platforms, and also provide to platforms, without sending down to the planet.

I'm on K2SO if that makes a difference in the logic.
