Which is better stat for these snails ? Health or food or both?
Tip for new players: The Early Game category says this is a Early Game creature, its Encountering wise, not taming, its near the beach swamps and non aggressive, but it needs to be knocked out and it needs to be quick as to slow and it curls up in its shell, it eats sweet vegetable cake that is hard to get requireing giant bee honey wich is a late/mid game item requireing ghille and high level health and speed, ghille needs organic poly, and its a hard to get item. Unless you kill snails. So in summary its not a Early Game tame, its a Early Game encounter.
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
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
I wish that the veggie cakes didn’t spoil. Heck, hostess twinkies and cupcakes basically last forever irl!
This is my first tip on here
I've got four of these at my base and I've got way too much cementing paste so take note four is enough, but you probably also heard that they produce organic polymer which acts the exact same way as regular polymer except for having a spoil timer which is it's downfall. These don't produce very large quantities of this material however if you have a lot of it and you don't want it to spoil, turns out you can add it to their inventories on top of what they naturally produce and they will triple it's time left as an item - which works perfectly alongside something like a kairuku farm.
Hope that helps some of you, this gives me so much more time to get more polymer now and it even makes converting it to regular polymer through demolishing structures inefficient :)
These creatures are great for cementing paste. Just tame some using veggie cakes, (that’s the only thing they eat) and KO is very easy. Put them in a small hut or something and set them to wander. You will get so much paste! If you kill them in the wild, you get angler gel. It’s much easier than diving for anglers or killing deathworms. Thx for reading!
Pick it up so you can shoot him from under where he is more woneralble
The ultimate paste maker. Tame this for 20 organic polymer and 100 paste per hour. This creature is a strong bargaining chip for scorched tribes. All lv ups should be food! It had to have food to live and is isolated from war so no need.
While you are taming achatha it will tell you to put food the it's inventory but the taming effectiveness or taming bar won't go down
You should use tranquillizer darts to knock it out for taming as it makes it easier
For anyone wondering like I was on why it’s not eating the berries you put in it’s inventory after it’s been tamed is because yes they do still need the vegetable cake. As soon as I put the cake in its inventory it started eating it.
