One of the best ways by far to collect paste if you use the S+ mod. Tame a ton of them (12 is how many I have. It’s a little much...). Use the S+ Collector to passively collect their pasty poop, and regularly pull all their inventories. To keep them fed, use an S+ Tek Feeding Trough and set it so that only Achatina’s will eat from it and fill it with cake.

I don’t worry about paste now. Day 780 something on the server and have a surplus of about 80,000. This method is ideal with S+ (as most of us use it). However, regularly checking their inventories will also yield more than you’ll need.

After tame, collects up to 100 paste, then organic poly. Leave on wander and come back. ONLY eats veggie cakes even after tame.

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!

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)

The Achatina is a swamp-dweller. It has a hard shell and a slimy body. When the slime hardens slightly, it can be used like Cement Paste.

I am doing Utility Bios in alphabetical order.

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.

If you have an argy on a server with grabing wild enabled, you can grab a bunch of wild snails and put them in a pen, where they slowly put paste on the ground. TAKE THAT SNAILS!!! YOU DONT NEED CAKE ANYWAY!!!

On mobile, there’s a glitch when you leave the game and return, these snails appear to have full 100 paste and 100 organic polymer
