Not only do these guys defecate cementing paste, they produce it & organic polymer passively if set on wander. If you need cp, tame a few. They produce 100 cp. Idk if lvling weight effects how much org poly it can hold? Maybe lvling food makes it defecate more? Idk 🤷‍♂️ Leveling these guys doesn’t do anything :/ frustrating but I have 3, building a metal base a lot faster than grinding chitin and stone or beezlebuffo. Swear beezlebuffo should be able to harvest cp off spiders and scorpions, dinos that drops chitin ;( but they don’t

This may sound unusual, but I think these things are adorable.

Only upgrade speed. Name turbo. NOW YA GOT A SUPER PET

Pro tip: pick up with pterodon bring to enclosed base collect slime when it’s dropped. Don’t need cake for that.

If you find any dead ones make sure to collet the body so more can spawn

I live in redwoods and i wanted Achatina,i got it. i was going in imune cave, when i was back it had 100 cementing paste AND!!!!!!! 100 organic polymer in its inventory

Feed a mouse a cookie and he'll want milk. Passive feed a snail cake in the swamp and he'll want to lure you to some Kapros. They eat sweet veggie cake which is such a pain to get and really picked the worst place to vibe in all of 'dismounted Ark' (Not on a dinosaur) Bring cake and a shotgun, plus a few bolas and you'll be covered in Sacro Scales and Kapro hide while the little bugger munches on his cake. Pros: Snail, CP (Cementing paste not, you know Chris Hansen favorite bait) Cons: Bugger is like the Kim K. Of expensive foods and somehow always sneak out of their pens (That or my tribemates think it's funny to move him). I'd put him in a cage but I'm a big time builder an- sidetracked... Snail go sloop and swamp go brrrrr bring a shotgun. 10/10 tame of course though -Racc Ark Veteran

These guys will produce cementing paste if you enable wandering, put them in a cage, turn wandering on and they will produce cp for a max of 100 until you take the paste

You can pick up Achatina's with a flying mount to bring them to a safe area to tame

If your taming just to get Achatina paste and don’t have Sweet Vegetable Cake don’t bother taming it pick it up with a pteranodon and bring it back to your base. They will still produce

Make sure you get to make a house on the first day or so

After taming put in a cageand place on wander. Then you can collect the paste without having to chase them!

The achatina is obviously a slug with a sea shell on it. Wonder who found fossils of this cursed thing..

It eats veggie cakes, and fyi I don’t know how to make them. It has a high topier drain (comes conscious quickly) so watch out.

The mainly spawn in swampy areas alot the coasts (from what I’ve seen) and is a decent source of citchin.

They also somehow eat stones? Yeah idk.. Put a thousand stones it it’s inventory and set it to wander, trap it in a box and drowned it.

This is my first instructions list from a-y so please follow along in the next tutorial!

Plop it at your base and then somehow aquire a personal honey bee hive for veggie cakes. Great for polymer and cementing paste. Upgrade their food bar whenever it gets enough exp. So then it can go a lot longer without food, and wont die as fast from starvation. I can play for like three days and then decide whether or not I want to top up its food bar.

To whoever said they haven’t gotten any Cementing Paste and only Achatina Paste, they’re basically the same thing. So in mid-game have at least 4 of these tamed and you’ll have infinite cement paste.

I have found these guys in the swamp as well as the redwoods.

Only level up the food stat after taming. That way you can go a long while in between feeding sessions.

Shoot in the head not anywhere else.

If you do then it will be too affective.

I love this just make it so it counts the time. like if you push start it props you.
