ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Fantastic weight shoulder pet. Put 1000 weight of items on it, pick it up, and you are only encumbered by 500.
You can ride a dino while holding a snail, so even if you canβt move with 500 weight, maybe your dino can.

STOP saying that it drops angler gel, this is only true on mobile. spread the word!
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.
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.
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 eat veggie cakes even when tamed, do t get fooled.
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.
Stick them on Wonder in a wood cage can still access inventory without opening cage and get that jucie paste that no-one can get from beaver dambs because silly people built in their spawns
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
