What are tips for achatina? Tips and strategies for achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If anyone’s having trouble getting lots of cementing paste for crafting stuff, this is the tip for you! Since achatina paste is similar to cementing paste you can use it for crafting stuff that needs cementing paste.
First, build a small building without a ceiling. Make sure there’s a door so you can get in and out and collect the paste. My building is 4x4 and made of thatch. It can probably fit 3-4 or more snails. Then grab a pteronodon or argy and fly to the swamp south of the redwood forest.
Go somewhat near the mountain with metal on it and you’ll find plently of snails there. Pick the snails up with your flying mount and drop them in your building. Then whenever you need cementing paste just go to your building and collect the achatina paste and get crafting!
Make sure you have a pteronodon or argy because you will need a flying mount to drop the snails in the building.
You don't need to tame it for it to produce Achatina paste. It will produce it in the wild on its own, so putting it in a pen close to water (wild Achatina needs to be close to water or it will die, as per the Ark wiki) will allow you to take advantage of this. Seeing as the paste is tough to see due to its size, it's recommended to build your pen on sand, or on any other terrain free from clutter.
Note that this has been only tested out on single player.
The time and cakes the calc told me I needed for a 250 was way off. Anyone else have this issue?
Everywhere I go i see Dodo tales stories
Idk why butvsometimes they drop angler gel and the creatures that got angler gel more consistently are my dire wolves
I just got murdered by an alpha raptor, carnotaur and idiotic bugs. MORAL OF THE STORY- listen to ppl when they tell you to check the area before taming this creature. Up this for nobs like me :)
Thx
If you can’t find high level, any level will do. Achatina paste and Organic polymer production is the priority here. just be aware that veggie cakes fill food bar 500 a time so don’t waste them, feed as required and level up food. once you have a good stock of paste, don’t empty these guys of paste and farm polymer for your ghillie repairs instead. move all poly across to one achatine to reduce spoilage.
!!! 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. If you want to play it properly or if you just want lots of CP do the following. Once tamed, 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
If you want free cementing paste. Grab some Sweet Vegetable Cake and boom! Cementing paste for days.

You can put a hat on it. I like to add the Santa hat to a flak helmet and put it on it.
