What are some stories about the achatina? Memorable achatina stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
I saw one and I started to knock it out bc I wanted luigi the pet snail but my sister was like no let's go on adventure leave the poor snail alone and sother I did and biggest regret of my life right there alk the cemeeting paste I missed out on, now I can't find another one.
That’s a good question, Sandmaster. The answer for me would be music and a love for novels. Once I hear the perfect song, the ideas typically just come to me. Reading good books in the past help with that. And it’s soundtracks that help me think of scenes and plot. Characters depend on the song, along with my own imagination. It’s really fun, and when the rare idea shows up, I only get to work if it bangs enough. The better the plot ideas, the more I love it.

Ben, My guess for the adventure packs only being accessible to buyers is that the stuff will be on the maps but you just can’t craft/tame/use(probably can use) the oasisaur is probably tamable with an engram you can’t have without the pack or just simply it’ll say “purchase the frontier adventure pack to tame this Dino” or something (depending on taming method) and that it will still spawn as it is a base game creature technically you just can’t tame unless you own the pack similarly to when newer dlcs for evolved came out somebody could go tame one for you and go to a non paid map that you can play on and give it/it’s babies to you, they might do it a bit differently because this is a different case, But if they do it like they’ve always done you can ride your tribmates oasisaur/train you just can’t craft/tame it unless you own the pack and I’m sure the packs are gonna be like a third of the price that the dlcs were originally but I mean they’ve gotta make money somehow this is way better than what they could’ve done I’m just excited that we’re gonna get 6 new creatures on top of the 11-12 voted ones and the 4 new map ones it’s crazy also the new map is probably gonna be on the other side of the planet and the storyline of it will connect extinction and genesis better because it’s the only hole in the plot they can fill (before ark 2) but I’m getting off topic.. oh, oh, also I’m pretty sure they are expanding scorched earth because they said they are adding more caves (does that mean new bosses too? or just some caves don’t have artifacts..) and with the frontier adventure packs additions (trains and oasisaur) like can the oasisaur even fit on scorched like come on the art shows three of them in the desert maybe five of those things could fit on the evolved scorched and why would we need trains with that tiny map to go around the circle of the dune sea.. anyway this got way off topic.. one more thing Ben, you said you’ve never had time to play much, I get that, you can create a solo server and when you back out it pauses (just be careful apparently you have to manually save it using commands or it deletes save data currently..) and you can mess with settings to make it less of a grind. Only problem is you can’t play with other people that way but there are servers you can find with boosted settings and if you play pve you don’t really gotta get on a lot to play.. (or you can do what I did at first and go into creative and just hacke through bosses and cheat explorer notes to learn the story 🤣🤣 but maybe that’s just me)
-Wyvernain yes, I ramble.. you got a problem with that there’s the door.😂
Achatina are small snails that can produce lots of Cementing Paste while it is tamed and set on Wander. It will wander around and make the Pasty substance. Unfortunately, the Achatina can only be tamed with a couple of Sweet Vegetable Cake. There may be problems with the Achatina and how it consumes the Cake, even though the Cake is still the same. The amount of Cake that the snail requires to consume may vary depending on the level of it. Normally, it should only need to consume one or two Cakes, but you can press the 'Report Data Error' button if the Cake amount varies or is off by more than three. Achatina are normally picked on by Dilophosaurs and other small predators in the swamps. Achatina may have low Health and Speed, but they have a way to protect themselves: Achatina have the ability to curl up into its shell until it is either dead or rescued. The rest of the ARK creatures will have informational paragraphs soon.

Wyvernian, Chapters 19 - 20 of Origins of Salizar were awesome! Leaving it here to give more exposure
TarrWasTaken, the Prologue of The Surface was really cool! Leaving it here to give more exposure
OMEGA09, I saw the Lost Colony trailer too and it looks pretty awesome! I’m interested to see how gameplay will work and if it’ll be any different from the usual loop on the other ARKs, kind of like how Genesis has the missions and Hexagon Shop.
Jerrald, your message only raises my suspicions further! I suppose I’ll have to assume The Island is a multiplayer-story, and we just haven’t seen anyone else yet.
Duke, sounds good.
GitezGood, welcome back! That’s fair enough, since I remember you were talking about working on your Tree Moose mod for ASA, which doesn’t leave much room to do anything else. I’ll read the next chapters of The Fleet of Fate when it comes out!
Break-it, I don’t think the world is over-described in SOR, I honestly think it’s fine as it is if anything it’s a little more underdescribed than over. That might just be me though, but I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you since everyone has different writing styles pertaining to that sorta stuff. Writing wise it isn’t detrimental to the reading experience. Anyway I read Chapter 25 Part 1 of The Son of Rockwell and it was really cool! I’m really intrigued by the man who was selling stuff, who is he and how does he know what types of bundles to sell for the boss fights? Is he some sort of veteran just trying to do business? I’m also really curious about the currency. I’m guessing it’s more trading than actual purchasing with a universal currency, since de Cardo used gold coins, but I think it’d be cool to get more info about that.

All Good Rockdrake Lover, it happens a lot here!! Might as well say some stuff about me too, I’m the lore crazed, uber dino nerd of the writer’s here. Favorite Ark animals have to be the Shadowmane or Managarmr, for real animals in Ark, the Spino or Cerato.
PD, that’s good to hear!! Kinda sad to hear it’s delayed, but it’s cool nonetheless that you’re doing another project. And that it involves 2D animation!!!!
I think everyone is doing pretty good!!!! Everyone’s been busy but they’re working on their stories!! But yeah, everyone’s doing good!!!
Until Next Time!!

Thanks for the great feedback Ben! I’m glad the more experienced writers here in achatina are enjoying my story. I’m still on debating whether or not to base my story completely on my single player experience (with some differences obviously) or to do something else.
I think I am going to take a different route, blending the classic ARK experience with a real story but I’m not saying anything because I want it to be a surprise. But yeah, I’ve really been enjoying my writing experience and I’m glad you all are too!

PD, Chapter 1 of Leviathan’s Lullaby was great! I can’t wait to read more.
PrimalApex and Wyvernian, I am reading Chapter 24 of Ultimus and Chapter 18 of Tales of Pandora right now.
Jerrald, Chapter 4 of The Island was awesome! I’m glad that the first tame was a Compy instead of the cliche Dodo, and I’m glad it was a passive tame since I feel like it’d be more realistic for such small creatures to be passive instead of knockout. I’m enjoying it’s uniqueness so far and I can’t wait to read more!
Break-it, just read Chapter 24 and it was good stuff! I can’t wait for the Megapithecus fight, and how it’ll go since these pirates don’t seem to have tames. I’m glad to see Bruce is getting more self-aware about his unknown origins. Also I can’t wait for Bruce to learn that he still needs to fight the Dragon before he can even begin ascending off the Island… and to the next ARK. It’ll be a long ride ahead.
So, I am kinda new to ark. But I started reading all the fanfic from the dodo tales guys, and the person who writes the one about reaper and... Yeh the other guy, oof, but anyways, I love the story line so far, and it inspired me to write my own, I have a tiny bit of my own writing practice, but idk, here goes!
Reign of Fire: Ep1, By SpiritBird8960
A crash
A flutter
A struggle
A Shreik
Where one life ends, another has just begun.
...
The World was ending.
As ash fell from the sky, screams rang out in a sarrowful cry all around, as the earth faced vengance for the crimes of man and the victims received salvation. Then flame washed all around, burning all, and tearing through the earth in a rightous rage, then all was quite, the stars met and a sweet silence rang clear, broken only by blessed voices, whispering soothing words to the earth, as it was rebuilt, and grown anew. This time, it would have a chance.
...
,,,
Elen gasped in astounded wonder, as she opened her eyes, not to a crippling world of pain and war, but a beautiful night sky, of stars, a pure air, of life, and a green, of shining glory. She glanced around her, not a soul in sight, but somehow, this was conforting. Something faintly tingled, and with sudden realization she glanced down to see a weird implant of a strange technology lodged into her arm. Weird.
A voice of happiness rang clear through the air from all around. "Welcome, to the ark."
/And so it begins! Look for the next one in the allosaur section! - SpiritBird8960/
