Even though I have 10 veggie cakes in his inventory, it says "put food in inventory to tame" and I'm losing small amounts of taming percentage (but not taming effectiveness). Weird bug, must have something to do with the cool down everytime it eats.
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.

When tamed leave alone for a long time and you will come back to lots and lots of organic polymer
They live in the swamps of the red woods
As a mobile player. It takes so long to create cementing paste, so there are two ways for you to get 100×cementing paste and 600×organic polymer in a few seconds. (Single player only)
1st way: Go out of its loading area, then come back.
2nd way: Leave the game and rejoin.
After creating a stack of 100 paste you can make it create a 2nd stack by placing at least 1 piece of achatina paste in it’s inventory. Repeat and no need to store your paste elsewhere!
AT a high lv you unlock stun rod to knock out if u don’t wanna hunt anglers get a good sword out and slay it, it also works as a incredibly long fuel good for keeping enemies away in abreation.
At level 86 I dropped 30 narc arrows into this thing and it still didn’t pass out.... we may have an addict on our hands...
They actually lose a little bit of taming percetage each time they eat a cake. This is because the 30 second cooldown timer on the cakes. So during this 30 seconds it is loosing taming percentage. I had one losing 0.8 percent each time, which made me need 10 more cakes than…
They actually lose a little bit of taming percetage each time they eat a cake. This is because the 30 second cooldown timer on the cakes. So during this 30 seconds it is loosing taming percentage. I had one losing 0.8 percent each time, which made me need 10 more cakes than what dododex says, also needing much more narcotic to keep unconscious longer because of the loss. The game devs need to fix this bug or you will be short everytime.
NOT carriable by tapejara. I tried it, I could not pick it up. Ptera worked however.
Once tamed, even on wandering it's hunger will go down slower than when you are almost full on weight. Takes around a week for it to need to be fed. So no need to rush with the sweet vegie cakes!
So it seems it's taking longer, using more cakes and narc then what it says it's ment to.. also effectiveness is lower aswell
The ones in caves on scorched earth are a high level untameable variant
They appear on swamps and can be carry by argy
Achatina can be hard to tame and maintain but they are well worth it, so here’s a guide to tame one
1. You MUST use tranq darts. Tranq arrows will do too much damage, and make it hide in its shell, and it will not knock out. You will also need to prepare veggie cakes before…
Achatina can be hard to tame and maintain but they are well worth it, so here’s a guide to tame one
1. You MUST use tranq darts. Tranq arrows will do too much damage, and make it hide in its shell, and it will not knock out. You will also need to prepare veggie cakes before you tame it, because it is the only food that it eats to tame.
2. These are found in the swamp, and on the edge of the redwoods. I recommend using a flyer like an argy to pick it up and move it to a safe location. You can knock it out and tame it in the swamp but there are lots of hostile crocodilians and snakes that would like to eat you and your snail, so be prepared to deal with them you don’t need a trap because they are slow but if you want to use one to keep it safe you can
3. It will take at max 10ish tranqs to knock, so you don't need to make a ton. I HIGHLY recommend NOT starve taming it, because if you starve it too much, it will be really hungry when it is tamed, and you will need to feed it even more veggie cakes, because that is the only food they eat when wild or tamed.
Happy taming!

KO Strategy
Since damage is significantly reduced by the shell, it is best to hit it on the soft, fleshy parts instead. If it takes enough damage, it will retreat into its shell, making it very easy to kill it before the torpor from tranquillizers can knock it out. Be mindful of how bloody the Achatina gets, and use Shocking Tranquilizer Darts or normal Tranquilizer Darts to minimize this risk.
Can be tamed using vegetable cake
In Mobile, yes after being tamed it still only eats Cake but taming a lot isn't so bad, compared to the first one, before i knew cakes existed in this game. Just gather a bunch of rare flowers from Beaver Dams and place it on a Bee Hive and thats pretty much the hardest…
In Mobile, yes after being tamed it still only eats Cake but taming a lot isn't so bad, compared to the first one, before i knew cakes existed in this game. Just gather a bunch of rare flowers from Beaver Dams and place it on a Bee Hive and thats pretty much the hardest ingredient to get for Cakes. I Manually feed it one cake at a time to not waste them. Each cake gives about 200 Food( correct me if I'm wrong.) And i level up his food so its not that much of a hassle. Free Cement paste for life.. Up Up Up
Best paste maker you can take, be sure to tame one at least!
It took only three shocking tranquilizers to knock out a level 300 on Crystal Isles.
If you tame one in single player, you can get infinite cementing paste,
Step 1: Leave it on wandering
Step 2: Leave your game
Step 3: Rejoin
Step 4: Repeat
