Describe the bug

When I tried to apply speed potion to MOD control unit, I noticed that it isnt being applied and instead is placed in the inventory.

What did you expect?

I expected speed potion to be applied to the MOD control unit like it used and supposed to do

Reproducible steps

  1. Take mod control unit
  2. Click on it with speed potion

Research direction
Investigate the interaction between potion items and MOD control units. Look at the potion application code (likely in code/game/objects/items/potions.dm) and the MODsuit code (code/modules/mod/). Check if recent changes from the test merged PRs (#13274, #13409, #13392, #13410) affected this functionality. Review the logic that determines whether a potion can be applied to a MOD suit, and ensure that the correct item type is being used.
