If you can’t find high level, any level will do. Achatina paste and Organic polymer production is the priority here. just be aware that veggie cakes fill food bar 500 a time so don’t waste them, feed as required and level up food. once you have a good stock of paste, don’t empty these guys of paste and farm polymer for your ghillie repairs instead. move all poly across to one achatine to reduce spoilage.

!!! EASY CEMENTING PASTE - GET THIS POST NOTICED!!!

Great tame for getting cementing paste. Tame - put in wooden cage - enable wandering - collect 100 CP every 30 mins or so. If you want to play it properly or if you just want lots of CP do the following. Once tamed, caged and placed on wandering, exit game, load back up check snail inventory and collect 100 CP - exit game - load game - collect 100 CP - repeat until bored or have more CP than you know what to do with.

Works on single player at least. 10/7/19

On single player ark mobile (I don’t know if this works for pc and console or multiplayer ark mobile) everytime you reset your game, your tamed snail will give you 100 Acatina paste (basically cementing paste) and 100 organic polymer, you can farm this really easily, I got 1.5k of each from one snail till i got bored

Not aggressive, carryable by argent. KO with gun dart, feed veggie cakes. Torpor drops fast so don't leave. If put on wander it will collect up to 100 c paste then organic poly. ONLY eats veggie cakes after tame. Sometimes status bar says they have no food in inv, just double check. Alternatively if you dont want to tame, you can leave in a pen but it will only drop 1 paste and a time and you have to pick them up individually. Updog please

Be advised even after it's tamed it still only eats cakes. It produces cementing paste and organic polymer while on wander, I usually tame about 4 or 5 line them up somewhere and load them down with wood or stone and place them on wander invest all level ups in food and only feed them when you know a whole cakes food value goes to them check in periodically to empty the paste and before you know it you'll have chests on chests of spare paste!

Utility

Role

Organic Polymer/Corrupted Nodule Storage

Provides a Spoil Multiplier of 3x for Organic Polymer and Corrupted Nodule within its inventory (90 minutes). Also provides an increase to the spoil time of Bio-toxin. As they can be carried, similar to a Dodo, Achatina can be carried while hunting creatures such as the Kairuku, Mantis, Karkinos, or Corrupted Creatures to extend the lifespan of the Organic Polymer or Corrupted Nodules harvested.

Cementing Paste and Organic Polymer Supplier

While Wander is enabled, the Achatina will passively produce both Organic Polymer and Achatina Paste, a Cementing Paste substitute, in its inventory.

Passively produces 1 Achatina Paste per minute within its inventory, up to 100.

This can be paired with a Gacha picking up their feces (the Achatina Paste it leaves on the ground) to farm more than 100 and at more than double the rate; its feces accumulate faster than the cementing paste being created within its inventory. Fill the Gacha's inventory with another resource to lower the chance of the gathered paste being eaten.

Passively produces 1 Organic Polymer every 60 minutes, up to 100.

Due to the spoil timer, the first in a chain of three will spoil as the third is produced, making the effective rate 2 Organic Polymer every 90 minutes. Likewise, due to multiple stacks spoiling concurrently, an Achatina will obtain 12 Organic Polymer after 1080 minutes and then alternate between 11 and 12 thereafter.

Wild and Tamed Achatina will also passively produce Achatina Paste on the ground instead of feces. Paste dropped this way has a short despawn timer and must be manually collected unless a Gacha is available. Tamed Achatina do not need to be on wander for this, but the paste will spawn underneath them if they aren't, so the player must pick up the Achatina or use a Whip to collect it.

Pet

Though rather unintelligent and too large to place on the shoulder, the Achatina can make a wonderful addition for Ark pet collectors. They can make a great companion to survivors lonely or loony enough to sympathize with a snail, as their stupidity, slimy nature, and strange but goofy face can come off as almost cute. Like most other small creatures that are sometimes collectively known as, 'pets', the Achatina can wear hats/helmets such as a Chitin Helmet, which appear either on its shell or on the head of the creature when equipped.

Domestication Tips

The Achatina is unable to climb over a railing, but can still glitch through it whilst wandering. If it is filled with stone, it does not adversely affect resource production but does prevent them from moving and thus escaping their pens. It's best to simply put them into a Wooden Cage (just like what can be done with the Dung Beetle) and have them on wander or stationary if a Gacha is used to pick up the paste; they can not phase through the cage and the cage is easily movable to your preferred location for the Achatina.

A good idea is to capture loads of them and put them in a big box so they can’t escape, this way you don’t have to tame or feed them cake and you can still run around picking up their poo paste, this is good if you need a lot paste but it requires you to actively run around collecting as it doesn’t build up over time.
