What is a achatina used for? achatina battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The achatina is a small snail, carryable by hand, that can be useful if you are missing a small amount of cementing paste, and can’t be bothered to go and get the supplies to craft more. It poops and passively generates achatina paste, which is identical functionally and visually to cementing paste. It can hold up to 100 at a time.
*** YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW THIS IF YOU NEED CEMENTING PASTE *** if you have enough of these snails (about 10 of em) all you need to do is stick them in front of any Gacha and wait a little while.(they’ll need to be tamed so you’re gonna need veggie cakes) The gacha will collect the paste fast enough that it won’t eat it and collects SOOO Much. I’m telling you it’s a Super efficient way of gathering cementing paste with not a lot of work to do. Hope This helps people :)
This is my first tip on here
I've got four of these at my base and I've got way too much cementing paste so take note four is enough, but you probably also heard that they produce organic polymer which acts the exact same way as regular polymer except for having a spoil timer which is it's downfall. These don't produce very large quantities of this material however if you have a lot of it and you don't want it to spoil, turns out you can add it to their inventories on top of what they naturally produce and they will triple it's time left as an item - which works perfectly alongside something like a kairuku farm.
Hope that helps some of you, this gives me so much more time to get more polymer now and it even makes converting it to regular polymer through demolishing structures inefficient :)
I had no idea how to tame this but I thought it was so cool. So I took it home and set it in a holding pen. I am a newer player and don't know how to make this cake so I can not say about "after it tames" but I do know that on mobile as of 12-30-2020 it never gave me cementing paste. BUT it does poop Achinta paste not tamed just wandering around in my base. Follow one untamed.
These creatures are great for cementing paste. Just tame some using veggie cakes, (that’s the only thing they eat) and KO is very easy. Put them in a small hut or something and set them to wander. You will get so much paste! If you kill them in the wild, you get angler gel. It’s much easier than diving for anglers or killing deathworms. Thx for reading!
