What are tips for achatina? Tips and strategies for achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
Just tame 5 or 10 of these and DON'T 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 vou don't take those achatina paste, they start to generate organic Polymer. Just make sure those "snaila" can move but store them in a 2x2 box so they don't get lost and you have a nice auto-paste farming. You also shouldn't do this with dung beetles or any creature that is trying to mate because it will halt any mating or production of fertilizer.
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.
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 :)
I wish that the veggie cakes didn’t spoil. Heck, hostess twinkies and cupcakes basically last forever irl!
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!
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.
Pick it up so you can shoot him from under where he is more woneralble
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
Easy to tame and worth doing so. Each one produces 1 paste a minute (level doesn’t matter so go for the lower ones) and carries a max stack of 100 paste. Only eats cake, even after tamed but the foot goes down real slow so it’s not too much of a bother. Once the paste is full it then starts producing organic polymer at a rate of 1 every 60minutes. However, they spoil every 1 1/2 hours so you don’t really see it.
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.
Better make sure you have a refrigerator for the tasty cakes
It will only produce 100 Achatina paste at a time. Once it holds 100 it stops producing so be sure to collect it often. You can carry these while flying a mountain as well so flying to the artic with one and clubbing penguins and storing the organic polymer in the snail takes advantage of the 3x spoil timer. Pump carry weight and FOOD
