This is your go to creature on aberration, get like 2-4 and you don't have paste problems, in other maps you don't need them cause the bieverdams give more and it's annoying to hand feed them every time sweet vegetable cake, that's the only thing they eat even after tame. Only tame low level ones! Unless you wanna stand next to it like 20 min, only level on hunger. If they have 100 paste (maximum) they produce organic polymer and and it takes longer time to spoil poly in their inventory. They are breed able but it don't work right now because you can't feed them cakes (you can't put it in their inventory) only with mea wings it's possible but you need A LOT OF CAKES it isn't worth it because taming one is easier. They are found in the swamp and redwood some times, in aberration they are in the blue zone and in the border of the blue and green zone. That's everything you need to know.

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)

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.

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
