Did you grow the cure or just research it? You have to grow it and then it takes time for it to go away

The tech unlocks a new crop for planting in Farms.

the wildfire cure questline takes way too long to do, I had 6-7 med or mega domes making the "cure" in farms offset with ground cover to up soil quality. I also had to make some other Food cause I almost starved all my colonists. Thats 12-15 farms. You need 60 of the cure three times in rockets back to earth to end the mystery event. You only get 10 of the cure every 5 sols. It took something like 30 or more sols to slowly wait for the stupid food to grow, and not starve my colony. This is after the wildfire kills off a lot of your population.

The research is also way too much cost, even dropping the 90k research down to 45k making infirmaries in an empty dome takes forever because all your trained scientists are dying off.

This was my second game of surving mars and didn't make me feel challenged, more like bored and eventually just autopilotted the last 30 sol after getting all researches and all wonders again. I put surviving mars in the background and just watched youtube to end out the mystery quest chain.

Did I miss things. I thought it said to cure your colony they must visit a medical center. I demolished some spire building to put medical center in. After a while then it stopped.
And I thought you only got discounts on the research points with medical centers, not infirmaries :-(
I have my second rocket about to load.
I also hurried with 6 farms in a dome but not enough botanists, worked once but then they were so useless in their job (unqualified workers) that nothin remaind after 5 sol that it takes to grow cureatos.

Visits to Medical Centres cure the Mars-based colonists. To cure people back on Earth you need to make the Curetatos and ship them back.

Currently my problem is I have two domes making the cure, but the single rocket wanting to ship it back to Earth isn't anywhere near the second one, and nothing seems to want to move those cures to it.

Aha! Found I can individually control drones to get them to move the cures outside, then use a Transport to to Route them to the waiting rocket. What a pain that they don't just count as food, or something to go in Universal Depots so as to make this easier!

There is a wildfire cure depot. Put one up and the drones will move them automatically.

D'oh! Wish I'd spotted that or read your message before being done with that particular problem. Thanks!
