***Tame low levels!!!!***

The tame is a pain especially in the first half of the game crafting veggie cakes aint no piece of cake. however this is worth it if you like big metal bases. As you will never run out of anchita paste. To maks things easier I suggest making a small base or treehouse near the redwoods. Get tree taps and some medium crops plots going and grit your teeth for honey. (If you're playing with S+ hands down you need to save 50x honey and make a beehive at your base.) Once your crops grow, the taps get sap, and you got some honey, you should have most all you need. Perks if you're playing with Automation mod you can set up a vacuum to pick up all the paste and another the S+ Item collector pulls the inventory of the snails.

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
