Mid game once you get sap collectors this and a frog will get you all the cementing paste you need for making polymer get about three and you can pump ou three hundred in less than an hour on top of what you can make
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.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
U will need an extra veggie cake as due to the veggie cake having a 30 second timer on it one is consumed it does not class as the food being in the inventory during the cool down period resulting in the taming effectiveness dropping during this time.
The 30 second cool down for eating a veggie cake counts as there being no food in its inventory and so the taming percentage goes down that's why dododex is normally off by one.
The reason for extra cakes is the 30 second timer after it eats a cake. While the 30 second timer is ticking it says put food in inventory to tame and you lose some taming percentage
I have some untamed ones trapped and i can just take their paste. You dont have to tame them, just trap them like me
Easy end game farming of these:
Extinction has the cryoball, cryofridge and Dino leash engrams... learn these.
Make and charge cryoballs.
Make cakes.
Make Dino leash.
Go hunting for the snails.
Tame them then cryo them.
Each cryoball holds one animal “frozen”…

Each cryoball holds one animal “frozen” until thrown back out (like a pokeball).
Continue until all your balls are filled.
Place snails, place Dino leash (they will have a “lock” above their heads.
Set them to roam and they stay inside the leash radius.
Feed cakes as normal when hungry. :-)
When tamed, they will passively make cementing paste and organic polymer. Don’t level it up if you don’t have a lot of cakes.
For a reason on xbox it doesnt eat needs fixing like so people can see
Taming Bar slightly drops between each feeding interval as it haves a big which causes Achatina to “forget“ she still haves cakes in her inventory. So bring more then any calculator tells you. 140 wild one lost 0,8% with each interval
They don’t eat berries so don’t listen to all the idiots that say you can feed them berries
Sit on an animal and let the Achatina follow it. Activate wandering and it‘ll still produce Paste.
They DO NOT need to be on wander in order to obtain their paste. And a tastey cake every couple of days for feeding
There is a pc mod called krakens better dinos that makes it eat berries, I recommend it.
Takes 10 cakes on 1x for a lvl 20, not 9.
Would be better but they only eat the cakes even after they’re tamed which sucks because they can be hard to come by
You can finds lots of these snails in the city on extinction
If you take a bunch home without taming they still produce CP poop.
TAMING TIP FOR MOST ANIMALS
Run around on a galli with your friend driving and you on the back. Shoot the animal from the back of the galli, they’ll never catch up.
Beware, Achatina’s attract predators, ( especially dilo’s ), make a fence. Build that fence, build that fence, build that fence
The ones in the caves on scorched earth are tameable
