Tips & Strategies
Only get one of these AFTER you have set up a redwood platform for tree sap. And AFTER you have mastered stealing honey from bees, or tamed 2 or 3 queen bees. Once tamed, just build a little 2x2 room with no roof and keep the snails in there. I level only food stat and I have 6 snails right now. When breeding, THEY ALL GET PREGNANT! So you can easily increase their numbers if you have the cake production. The snail team produces like 100+ organic polymer by the time i log in each day(each snail has 16 on it currently and over 3k food each so I dont need to feed them everyday) which I use to turn into metal arrows and any upgraded guillie suit pieces and use crafted polymer for the major items.
More Achatina Utility Tips
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 but you will only get half the materials it costed to make it so if you like wasting 60 metal ingots in exchange for 7 polymer, then do this. That means you can transform organic Polymer to normal Polymer. I found it out yesterday by myself.
(lt also works with organic Oil)
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! NOT making you resources the whole time... Downvtoe the other tip to the bottom for truth! This also DOESN'T work for dung beetles or any creature that are trying to mate.

Just tame 5 or 10 of these and put inside them a lot of Stone or something heavy so they cannot move when you put them into patrol. With that, they passively generated 100 achatina paste every hour. When you don't take those achatina paste, they start to generate organic Polymer. Just make sure those snaila cannot move and you have a nice auto-paste farming.
