You mostly find them in caves, near mountains and also near swamp regions. They can’t really run away from you but taking them isn’t that easy either and might take a little more resources than you think at first but if you are far and rather prepared in the game this should be no problem. If you take them and put them on „wandering“ they will „snail“ around and slowly produce up to 100 Achatina Paste and 3-5 Organic Polymer if you leave them alone for a while. A simple short exploration is enough for these bad boys to generate a lot of Paste.

Very good for getting cementing paste.

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.

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.

just please don’t let them escape when they’re on wander, it’s bad

If you don't have the things to make sweet vegetable cake (like me) but you need it for cementing paste, just trap it and come back once in a while to collect it's poop

On mobile they drop angler gel upvoot

Can someone tell me if there’s a creature that collects its slime?

The time and cakes the calc told me I needed for a 250 was way off. Anyone else have this issue?

put 10 in a dino leash on small with a gacha and you got a paste farm.

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

They give angler gel when u kill them on mobile.

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

A small price to pay for salvation...

Because on mobile, the hive is easy to get, no need to tame anything. Just need a ton of sap, and chitin, and a smithy. Make a greenhouse after.

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

On wandering they also produce Organic polymer. Make sure to take it out when you need to use it because it spoils in minutes.

If you want free cementing paste. Grab some Sweet Vegetable Cake and boom! Cementing paste for days.

WHAT ARE CAKES.??????????

please would somebody explain that part PLEASE.???
