The Achatina is a massive snail, mostly used for its production of Cementing Paste, or as a pet. This creature produces its paste passively — and quite frequently — so many survivors keep them around their bases. However, its usefulness pretty much ends there, as it cannot attack and moves quite slow. The Achatina must be tamed violently.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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…

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 :)
Currently got a glitch on Mobile. It holds 100 cementing paste. If you take that, then quit the game completely and immediately come back in, it has respawned 100 Cementing Paste. I’ve just got 1000 in a couple minutes by doing that.
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.…

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
Pick it up so you can shoot him from under where he is more woneralble
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!
Great for passive cementing paste ( achatina paste) gets up to 100 paste overtime. Stick them in a cage and set to wandering so they do not escape. Has great weight as a organic polymer storage container as they increase the spoil timer on it.
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 but you will only get half the materials it costed to make it so if you like wasting 60 metal ingots in…
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 but you will only get half the materials it costed to make it so if you like wasting 60 metal ingots in exchange for 7 polymer, then do this. That means you can transform organic Polymer to normal Polymer. I found it out yesterday by myself.
(lt also works with organic Oil)
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…
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.
I wish that the veggie cakes didn’t spoil. Heck, hostess twinkies and cupcakes basically last forever irl!
Get 3 of these and never will worry about cementing paste again!!
You should use tranquillizer darts to knock it out for taming as it makes it easier
Knock them out and feed them sweet veggie cakes.
They produce CP.
Thank you for reading my tip.
I would suggest when you tame one, you should build a cage out of metal or wooden railings and make a way for you to enter then set them all on wonder come back later and get all that Achatina paste
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…
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.
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…

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
