Utility Tips

What is a achatina used for? achatina utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They make Achatina paste not cementing paste. YES it counts as the same thing UNLESS you are trying to put it in a dedicated storage bin that has CP in it which WILL NOT work. It does NOT stack with CP. They also only eat veggie cakes so in my opinion don’t waste your time with this little guy.
Taming is pretty expensive tbh, so if you're just after the paste, you can easily make a little pen or something for them and pick up wild ones, they wander around and drop the paste. On my singleplayer world I have around 15 on my tree platform, all I did was line the outside with railing and collect them, and bam, tons of paste.
I actually managed to make one go into my house and to this day it’s still there
Here how to do it! : 1: If your a beginner spawn at E1
2: do all your forced quests
3: get AT LEAST thatch buildings as quickly as possible
4: find a snail
5: punch the snail (please remember that you must make at least a 1x1 house but roof isn’t required only walls and floor)
6: go behind it and make it go inside your house (be warned that you need to leave 1 wall open and not a doorframe for this to work)
7: fill the hole in the wall
8: enjoy your infinite CP
Vote up so beginners can see this.
Also if your wondering why you need to spawn at E1 it’s because you spawn in the middle of a normal shore biome thingy and the swamp (I also found an itchy there so get meat real quick).
I hope this helped :D and these tips are from my experience so it may or may not work also thank you for your time
I play on mobile and i tamed him mainly for the Organic Polymer, if you are playing on single player simply leaving the game and come back on will instantly get you plenty and if you know how to convert Organic Polymer to Normal Polymer then this snail is a godsend, I easily farmed 3k polymers under an hour with him. The snail only eat Sweet Vegetable cakes but what he gives in return is worth it
