The achatina is a small snail, carryable by hand, that can be useful if you are missing a small amount of cementing paste, and can’t be bothered to go and get the supplies to craft more. It poops and passively generates achatina paste, which is identical functionally and visually to cementing paste. It can hold up to 100 at a time.

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.

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.~Steel Cookie 123

While taming, after eating a cake, the bar will read "place food in inventory to tame" even though you have cakes there. Also, the torpor score goes up quickly from feeding narcs, different from other tames

The achatina has its own paste the achatina paste

I repeat........They don't eat food inside the cave in mobile.

You don't need to tame to get paste, just pick up with pteranodon and drop in small pen, then come back every once in a while to find achatina paste, no veggie cakes needed.

You can find achatina in and around the swamp, also in redwoods if you want to be jumped by a thylacoleo

NOT TRUE that you can use a grappling hook on snails on PVE servers. I tried.

You can just kidnap a few and they’ll drop paste on the ground which you can then pickup without having to tame them.

True story. We tamed 6 achitnas for cementing paste and polymer farming. Their pen is near our ovirapter who is weighted down and set on wander. These snails reproduced. We returned from an adventure and found 6 mini me's! We separated the achitnas into pens divided with wooden rails and they still reproduced. Not one was set to "enable mating". We finally spayed all of them to get them to stop! If you want organic polymer (store on the achitnas) and cementing paste you will have more than enough in no time. Spare the baby penguins!

2/10 a bit easy cause it does not attack back but it can go in it's shell wich is the hard part

If you tame 3-5 achatina, you probably never making polymer and cementing paste again.

Only upgrade food so when you fill them up you won’t have to feed them again for a long time.

The Achatina will passively produce cement paste as it wanders. It also produces organic compound but only once every hour or so. It can be placed in a wooden cage and still produce past and compound.

Just so you know...they also extend the preservation timer for organic polymer if you want to store large amounts.

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.

Pls ⬆️ this Tipp so everyone can read it!

(It also works with organic Oil from the Basilo)

I don’t understand why people say tapejara can carry more thing than pteranodon. Tapejara can’t even carry achatina but Pteranodon can so if you wanna carry a snail with a early flyer tame a pteranodon not tapejara.

If you can’t find many in the swamp the artifact of the immune cave spawns at least three
