!!! EASY CEMENTING PASTE - GET THIS POST NOTICED!!!
Great tame for getting cementing paste. Tame - put in wooden cage - enable wandering - collect 100 CP every 30 mins or so.
Or as no one else seems to have noticed, once tamed and caged and placed on wandering, exit game, load back up check snail inventory and collect 100 CP - exit game - load game - collect 100 CP - repeat until bored or have more CP than you know what to do with.
Works on single player at least. 10/7/19

Achatina

Favorite Food: Sweet Vegetable Cake

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.
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!
After tame, collects up to 100 paste, then organic poly. Leave on wander and come back. ONLY eats veggie cakes even after tame.
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)
STOP saying that it drops angler gel, this is only true on mobile. spread the word!
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!!!
Stick them on Wonder in a wood cage can still access inventory without opening cage and get that jucie paste that no-one can get from beaver dambs because silly people built in their spawns
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.
Only eat veggie cakes even when tamed, do t get fooled.
On mobile, thereβs a glitch when you leave the game and return, these snails appear to have full 100 paste and 100 organic polymer
