Achatina

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.

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…

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…

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

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 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…

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.…

Put them in a wooden cage, and Enable wandering. You can still access the inventory if the snail without opening the cage.

When taming an achatina try to get them in a safe place. Once that's done you should shoot it in the head with tranq darts/arrows as the shell does less torpor. Then feed it sweet vegetable cakes and BOOM your very own achatina!

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.
