Can't see that anyone has posted this yet. It seems that the game does not recognize glitterworld medicine as an ingredient for adding bionics. I spawned in some glitterworld medicine using EdB's Prepare Carefully mod and am unable to add bionics because I don't currently have any regular medicine in my stockpile. Adding the regular meds through debug allows operations to be queued. The same goes for the herbal medicine, no operations allowed.
Got it, thanks. Will fix.
