When taming low level Achatina you may need to feed it a cake immediately after falling unconscious as their health decreases until they eat which often results in death.
Achatina
The Achatina is a massive snail, mostly used for its production of Cementing Paste, or as a pet. This creature produces its paste passively — and quite frequently — so many survivors keep them around their bases. However, its usefulness pretty much ends there, as it cannot attack and moves quite slow. The Achatina must be tamed violently.

If they take too much damage they will retreat into their shell with a similar effect as a doed.
Commonly found in swamps, but while less common, are easier to tame in redwood forests, which is the other place you can find them
Bring extra cake, it sometimes says too add food so taming drops a little ever so often. Doesn't effect level though
Put all stats into food then you won't have to worry about cake
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…

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
Make sure you get to make a house on the first day or so
In mobile they don't give angler gel anymore. Only gives cementing paste when poops. Up to get angler gel from these guys like old ark mobile.
There very esey to kill just take your axe and swing it a few times and boom dead -Big Bill
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…
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
After taming put in a cageand place on wander. Then you can collect the paste without having to chase them!
Only level up the food stat after taming. That way you can go a long while in between feeding sessions.
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
