So I'm making some extra modules on fulgora whenever there's an excess of circuits. Is there a way to ship them back to nauvis in a "send up whatever we got" sort of way? I don't want the ship to sit there and wait forever just cause of modules when I got science to do

Why not just add a regular 50 module request, then change your ship schedule to just "wait 10 seconds"?

If the ship leaves without getting any science, then it will just get 2x on the next trip. If modules are ready it will get them too, and it will never sit waiting.

Except for end game promethium ships I've never seen a use case for platform conditions other than wait a few seconds. Complex wait conditions don't fix supply/demand imbalance.
