Tips & Strategies
Hello viewer this is everything you need to know about this large snail, or more commonly known as achintina. These gaint snails com in many shapes and sizes. Itβs rare to see these snails anywhere else besides the swamp. They are incapable of fighting back if harmed and they will retreat. As you could tell by the name they are snails, meaning they have the slowest movement speed in the game. So they are able to hide inside there sheβll and shield themselves from dmg of any kind. Taming is large risk as this creature spawns in the swamp lands. The swamp is very dangerous and filled with arks most dangerous and aggressive creatures such as the karposuchus and titanboa. When taming these guys only eat cakes of some kind. When it comes to knocking it out use tranq arrows to bring the creature down. Even it its shell it wonβt stop the tranq chemicals from whering the creature down. Once knocked out feed it the cakes. And bam you have your little snail pet. You can also put hat gear of it.
More Achatina Utility Tips
Easy way to keep them in place, just fill their inventory with stone. Encumbered, they will not move, even on wander. Then for feeding, put cake in a tough. They will stay in place and alive! Making you resources the whole time... Up to the top for knowledge!
After tame, collects up to 100 paste, then organic poly. Leave on wander and come back. ONLY eats veggie cakes even after tame.
TIPP: Achatinas can produce organic Polymer. You can just craft a fridge with the organic Polymer and destroy it. Every time you destroy a fridge you get normal Polymer back. That means you can transform organic Polymer to normal Polymer. I found it out yesterday by myself.
(It also works with organic Oil)
Stick them on Wonder in a wood cage can still access inventory without opening cage and get that jucie paste that no-one can get from beaver dambs because silly people built in their spawns
STOP saying that it drops angler gel, this is only true on mobile. spread the word!
Only eat veggie cakes even when tamed, do t get fooled.
When tamed, the Achatina can produce Achatina paste, an alternative to cementing paste, passively when on wandering. You could also collect it when they are moving, their paste/slime will be on the ground shaped in a similar feces ball.
ONLY LEVEL UP ITS FOOD. Tame high level snails only, as they have high food stats. Cakes are expensive, so you want to go as long as possible without having to feed the snails.
If you see somebody talk about them dropping angler gel they only drop on MOBILE!
Will only eat Sweet Veggie Cakes even after being tamed! Each cake fills the food by about 200. Poops paste as well as prudces paste in inventory but ceases production once 100 paste is in inventory. Increases organic polymer spoil timer by 3x
