- What is this creature? -

The Achatina is a snail that lives in swampy areas. It's completely harmless and easy to kill. However, if you don't kill it with one hit, it will crawl into its shell and can no longer be attacked. The same applies to wild creatures: if they don't kill the Achatina with one hit, they won't be able to attack it anymore.

There are two types of Achatina:

Normal Achatina

Aberrant Achatina (found on the Aberration map)

- How to tame? -

The Achatina can only be tamed with sweet vegetable muffins. Achatina can be easily stunned with a small number of darts (depending on its level). She wakes up fairly quickly, so bring at least 50 narcotics. Place a couple of sweet vegetable muffins (depending on her level) in her inventory and wait. There's a bug where Achatina eats a muffin without increasing her taming bar, so bring some muffins with you. Once Achatina wakes up, she can be carried by any flying creature, so you can carry her without cryocaps.

- Useful Tips -

Achatina is your home "cement" maker. She produces Achatina paste, which works like regular cement. There's a bug where when you log out and back in, Achatina's entire inventory is filled with her paste. However, for Achatina to produce paste, she needs to be wandering. To prevent it from escaping, build a wooden cage and place the Achatina in it, enable wandering, and enjoy a large flow of "Cement." The downside of the Achatina is that even after taming, it only eats sweet vegetable cakes. So, unless you have a large supply of resources for making cakes, taming the Achatina is not recommended.

- Loot -

Achatina loot is standard:

Raw meat

Chitin.

However, in Ark Survival Mobile Edition, Achatina also dropped Anglerfish Gel.

To effectively farm cementing paste, put the achatina in a cage and set it to wander. It will generate 100 cementing paste in its inventory over a period of time, as well as dropping one every 60 seconds or so. Keep in mind that the cementing paste generated caps at 40, so be sure to empty it’s inventory frequently as possible. Although it is labeled achatina paste, there is no visual or use-case differences. They also increase the spoil timer on organic polymer so I recommend using it as storage for poly.

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.

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

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!

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)

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.
