What are tips for achatina? Tips and strategies for achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They are found in the swamp and love nothing more than cake. Capable of producing Achatina paste (alternative to cementing paste) and organic polymer . Once set to wandering, will produce and store a max of 100 paste.They also defecate CP.
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
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
I repeat........They don't eat food inside the cave in mobile.
NOT TRUE that you can use a grappling hook on snails on PVE servers. I tried.
You can find achatina in and around the swamp, also in redwoods if you want to be jumped by a thylacoleo
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!
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.
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)
How to make get a green stuff by mixing blackberries and mixing spoiled meat and you have to get to level 21 to unlock the train arrow
If you can’t find many in the swamp the artifact of the immune cave spawns at least three
They are found in swamp and redwoods. Recommend you take to a taming pen. Knock it out and feed it veggie cake. You can carry it. Only eats cake after tame.
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 the tame, you need high food slimers
