Question about curing citizens

[Salem Graves]

I just brewed up a bunch of fatigure remedies when a thought popped into my head, should I wait until I'm actually ready to feed on someone, before curing them? Is there a consequence to me not curing people right away? Will the district health continue to drop if I don't?

Each cure gives you +25 XP. Why wait?

There isn't really much consequences if you wait. The sickness is just getting worse (and only then it will reduce the district health), but nothing else.
And if you want to heal a more severe sickness you need more ingredients to create a cure - in terms of a cost-value ratio there isn't anything gained if you wait (and nothing lost if you do too)

Because I don't have unlimited crafting mats

I get that - but if you wait and the sickness increases by one level, you'd need more ingredients to craft the cure. You'd need 2x ingredients to create a Level 2 Cure and 3x ingredients to create a level 3 cure - doesn't really matter.

On a sidenote: i've cured pretty much every single sickness asap - and never run out of ingredients. They are not rare at all later on. Even if you lack certain ingredients - you could just buy them, money is pretty worthless anyway ;)

Doesn't that only happen when you sleep? So people should be fine as long as they cure them before going to sleep and leveling up.

Sure, without resting there isn't any sickness. I just assumed he was talking about curing them much later in the game to feed on them... no need to cure them at once ofc.

Btw crafting materials are problem to find only in early game. After you'll get tons of them from enemies and boxes.
