Since the on-station Synthomatic now starts with an Irradiation module, I've been trying to use it to manufacture cures and vaccines without needing a suppressant recently. The problem is: it never seems to work.
I've tried asking on the discord if anyone else has tried using the Irradiation module, but I got little response, so I guess I'm making a post here.
Steps to reproduce:
I have looked through the 2016 code, and while I can't know if it is still accurate in 2020, I believe the error may be somewhere around here.
https://github.com/goonstation/goonstati...s.dm#L1474
When using the irradiation module, the found variable is always set to true, but the check that sets is_cure to true if found is true only happens the irradiation module is not used. This means that is_cure is can never be true when using the irradiation module, making cures and vaccines not work.
Not sure if I am wrong or if noone has ever tried actually using the irradiation module for the past 4 years, sorry if I am making some mistake and it is actually working.

Steps to reproduce:
- Load in a sample of a microbody
- Load in an appropriate amount of the correct Anti-Agent. (More than the suppression threshold of the pathogen)
- Press the button "Synthesize serum by irradiation" or "Synthesize vaccine by irradiation".
