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.

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…

Once they have 100 achatina paste in their inventory, they will start producing organic polymer, I believe they make like 10 stacks of 10 organic polymer as their max, so if you want quick polymer for the morning that lasts twice as long, give them 100 achatina paste

after taming ONLY ever upgrade its food as you are prob not gonna use it for fighting or traversing the terrain, oh and also they eat veggie cakes which are hard to make and extra hard on mobile.

If you can't get sweet veggie cake, no fears, just pick it up with a ptera and drop it in your bas. It will still poop cementing paste!

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

Before taming, save up a lot of sap, giant bee honey and crops for making Sweet Vegetable Cakes.

I would recommend using a wooden cage if you only have one, multiple is better if you have a small wooden or thatch building.

They get organic polymer if you let them get full of cementing paste

Instead of caging mine, I put them in a non ground level room, set to wander and they stay in place creating paste and poly. You're welcome. Easier to lone them out especially when you have 20+ out at a time. I only raise on multiplier events. Low levels aren't worth…

Hello my Survivors,

I just tamed two Snails and dropped them into my greenhouse. Then i turned on wandering to produce Acha paste passively and then they just started to breed. But they breeding in a special way, because they get each other pregnant, so both have to suffer and…

One of the easiest ways how to get cementing (achatina) paste in abberration :)

Haha, i don’t need to tame these guy. Just grab them to the land around my house (with some walls of course). Then i can collect the paste for free :))

If you can’t get veggie cakes, lock the snail in your base it will still produce the paste very slowly, but not polymer.

The eating delay only creates an issue when trying to starve tame. If you put the cakes in right away, it eats them slowly enough that the countdown will run out before it is hungry again, and you won't need extra.
