Random fun fact: this snail is actually on every map besides genesis part 1

They can make achatina paste which can be used as cementing paste which means you don’t need to grind for 5 years for just 30 cementing paste

I had no idea how to tame this but I thought it was so cool. So I took it home and set it in a holding pen. I am a newer player and don't know how to make this cake so I can not say about "after it tames" but I do know that on mobile as of 12-30-2020 it never gave me cementing paste. BUT it does poop Achinta paste not tamed just wandering around in my base. Follow one untamed.

While their main purpose is Achatina Paste, not enough people talk about how they are the perfect Organic Polymer fridge! They can hold a single polymer for 1h20m compared to the normal 30m decay. So level up their weight and USE THEM AS A FRIDGE!

You don’t even need to tame these guys to get paste, just pick a few up with a flyer and put them in a pen and overtime they will drop some paste but you have to remember to collect it or else it’ll decompose

Cakes are a pain to make, but the amount of cp and organic polymer you get over time is worth it!

Drop a bunch of tmwild or tamed snails in a pen and have a gacha next to the to pick up the paste

WARNING! SNAILS GESTATE!

Don't mate them if u aren't going to be on in 8 hours.

I love this gus and he is the best

Flying them back to base with a PT doesn’t work.

Had to knock it out on switch to tame it. Super high torpor rate. Still eats veggie cakes

Do You Want Cementing Paste, Tame The Achatina.

Caves and Swamp have the highest chance to find. Bola and protect them with a cooking pot on the side in case you run ou of cake. After, put them in a pen or dino leash on wander to make paste and organic polymer.

Hey you know you can like not take care of one and kinda trap it wild and it still makes a lot of achanta paste.

The cake diet is worth it for cementing paste

Which is better stat for these snails ? Health or food or both?

I play ark mobile and it happen to me that when I kill these things and harvest them I sometimes get a very small amount of angler gel

Starve taming doesn't work too well for 2 reasons

1. It's food bar may be small, so it may start losing health before it even gets close to tame time.

2. The cool down gap for eating cake, means that you need to factor in the eating time.

Hope this helps

Put loads of stone in its inventory to let it wander without moving. If there is a bit space left for the the paste this works fine and you don’t need a cage.

Hello everyone! Today we'll be looking at the Achatina.

- What is this creature? -

The Achatina is a snail that lives in swampy areas. It's completely harmless and easy to kill. However, if you don't kill it with one hit, it will crawl into its shell and can no longer be attacked. The same applies to wild creatures: if they don't kill the Achatina with one hit, they won't be able to attack it anymore.

There are two types of Achatina:

Normal Achatina

Aberrant Achatina (found on the Aberration map)

- How to tame? -

The Achatina can only be tamed with sweet vegetable muffins. Achatina can be easily stunned with a small number of darts (depending on its level). She wakes up fairly quickly, so bring at least 50 narcotics. Place a couple of sweet vegetable muffins (depending on her level) in her inventory and wait. There's a bug where Achatina eats a muffin without increasing her taming bar, so bring some muffins with you. Once Achatina wakes up, she can be carried by any flying creature, so you can carry her without cryocaps.

- Useful Tips -

Achatina is your home "cement" maker. She produces Achatina paste, which works like regular cement. There's a bug where when you log out and back in, Achatina's entire inventory is filled with her paste. However, for Achatina to produce paste, she needs to be wandering. To prevent it from escaping, build a wooden cage and place the Achatina in it, enable wandering, and enjoy a large flow of "Cement." The downside of the Achatina is that even after taming, it only eats sweet vegetable cakes. So, unless you have a large supply of resources for making cakes, taming the Achatina is not recommended.

- Loot -

Achatina loot is standard:

Raw meat

Chitin.

However, in Ark Survival Mobile Edition, Achatina also dropped Anglerfish Gel.
