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!

Requires Hatchet Lvl2.

Noob Informer 2.0: So, Achatinas, they spawn on every map except Genesis Part 1, they are good for getting Cementing Paste and eventually Organic Polymer, they do not Pose any Threats in the Wild whatsoever, neither when Tamed, Achatinas are tamed via Veggie Cakes, which are decently Challenging to make, but you will get it! I forgot how to make Veggie Cakes but I believe in whoever is taking this as Advice! :D, Anyways, to tame a Achatina, make some Veggie Cakes, And ONLY Shoots them in the Head when Tranqing, they are Relatively easy to knock out, and on The Island, they can be found in the Redwoods, and on Crystal Isles, Grasslands, that is all I know pretty much, I don’t see them often on any other Maps, once they are Knocked out feed them Veggie Cakes and let them Tame! Once they are Tamed enjoy you’re Achatina! :>, I would recommend Crafting a Wooden Cage and picking up a Achatina and YEET it in there, set it on Wandering, and you have a Organic Polymer and Cementing Paste Farmer! Up this Tip if it helped you out! :D

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.

If you want to never worry about cementing paste or organic polymer, just have a bunch of them with a feeding trough or a daeodon woth passive heal on, and you have a infinite supply of cementing paste/organic polymer. Hope this helps.

You can get a small amount of angler gel by killing and harvest it

I get 4 angler gel by harvest it with my argie

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

Highly suggest you have a farm going before you tame one so you can continue making vegi cakes. Also be aware a snail doesn't need to eat a lot, so even 5 cakes will last a long time.

In my experience, it's just easier to farm bugs on beelzebufo for cementing paste and use a pelagornis to farm organic polymer from wild/bred kairuku instead of using expensive resources to feed the achatina. I guess if you live in redwoods by a lake with irrigation pipes carrying water up to your trees base with tons of sap taps, then go ahead and tame an army. But if you're like me, and you live on the southern haven, you can't really get the resources needed for achatina efficiently.

They often come up with no food and have very little health so make the cakes prior to downing or it will starve.

they love knockoff hostess cupcakes

More cakes required than said they wait 30 seconds so their game meter goes down

Lvl 150- 130 narcotics, 44 sweet veggie cakes, 1 hour 30 minutes tame time

Level 100 took 2 tranq arrows, 29 cakes, about 60 narcotics

They produce one achitina paste every min and can only hold one stack in there inventory no matter what their carry weight is so do some math with that ok good have fun

Taming time for this is really inaccurate as well as the amount of narcotics

Put tamed Achatina in a wooden cage on wander. Then check periodically to take off organic cementing paste (which does not spoil). This prevents picking up thier cementing paste poop but you only get 1 from each poop so not a big loss. Tame 5 to 10 and have a cementing paste farm and great organic polymer storage.

Maybe someone said this already,but achatina’s drop angler gel when killed and harvested

You don’t necessarily need to tame these guys! If you live somewhere relatively safe, then use your pteranodon to pick one up and take it back to your base! They poop/make paste only one at a time so you’ll need a few but saves time and resources taming these dudes
