***Tame low levels!!!!***

The tame is a pain especially in the first half of the game crafting veggie cakes aint no piece of cake. however this is worth it if you like big metal bases. As you will never run out of anchita paste. To maks things easier I suggest making a small base or treehouse near the redwoods. Get tree taps and some medium crops plots going and grit your teeth for honey. (If you're playing with S+ hands down you need to save 50x honey and make a beehive at your base.) Once your crops grow, the taps get sap, and you got some honey, you should have most all you need. Perks if you're playing with Automation mod you can set up a vacuum to pick up all the paste and another the S+ Item collector pulls the inventory of the snails.

When tamed upgrade nothing but food so u don't need to always eat u have time to get the sap and make the cakes

I'm not sure about the multiplayer one, but in ark mobile Single mode, after collecting achtina paste and organic poly, Go to setting, click on 'leave ARK mobile' and when you're in the menu section...login again and hola! 100 cementing paste and 100 organic poly.

Believe me, you can repeat this process hundreds of times, just collect the resources and login again. I'm Debraj btw. Have a good day.😌

Want free cementing paste? Tame a snail.... yeah... that makes sense

We had 5-6 and nobody fed them and they never starved to dead.

Very good for getting cementing paste.

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

On mobile they drop angler gel upvoot

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

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

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

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.

They give angler gel when u kill them on mobile.

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 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.

Utility

Role

Organic Polymer/Corrupted Nodule Storage

Provides a Spoil Multiplier of 3x for Organic Polymer and Corrupted Nodule within its inventory (90 minutes). Also provides an increase to the spoil time of Bio-toxin. As they can be carried, similar to a Dodo, Achatina can be carried while hunting creatures such as the Kairuku, Mantis, Karkinos, or Corrupted Creatures to extend the lifespan of the Organic Polymer or Corrupted Nodules harvested.

Cementing Paste and Organic Polymer Supplier

While Wander is enabled, the Achatina will passively produce both Organic Polymer and Achatina Paste, a Cementing Paste substitute, in its inventory.

Passively produces 1 Achatina Paste per minute within its inventory, up to 100.

This can be paired with a Gacha picking up their feces (the Achatina Paste it leaves on the ground) to farm more than 100 and at more than double the rate; its feces accumulate faster than the cementing paste being created within its inventory. Fill the Gacha's inventory with another resource to lower the chance of the gathered paste being eaten.

Passively produces 1 Organic Polymer every 60 minutes, up to 100.

Due to the spoil timer, the first in a chain of three will spoil as the third is produced, making the effective rate 2 Organic Polymer every 90 minutes. Likewise, due to multiple stacks spoiling concurrently, an Achatina will obtain 12 Organic Polymer after 1080 minutes and then alternate between 11 and 12 thereafter.

Wild and Tamed Achatina will also passively produce Achatina Paste on the ground instead of feces. Paste dropped this way has a short despawn timer and must be manually collected unless a Gacha is available. Tamed Achatina do not need to be on wander for this, but the paste will spawn underneath them if they aren't, so the player must pick up the Achatina or use a Whip to collect it.

Pet

Though rather unintelligent and too large to place on the shoulder, the Achatina can make a wonderful addition for Ark pet collectors. They can make a great companion to survivors lonely or loony enough to sympathize with a snail, as their stupidity, slimy nature, and strange but goofy face can come off as almost cute. Like most other small creatures that are sometimes collectively known as, 'pets', the Achatina can wear hats/helmets such as a Chitin Helmet, which appear either on its shell or on the head of the creature when equipped.

Domestication Tips

The Achatina is unable to climb over a railing, but can still glitch through it whilst wandering. If it is filled with stone, it does not adversely affect resource production but does prevent them from moving and thus escaping their pens. It's best to simply put them into a Wooden Cage (just like what can be done with the Dung Beetle) and have them on wander or stationary if a Gacha is used to pick up the paste; they can not phase through the cage and the cage is easily movable to your preferred location for the Achatina.

On single player ark mobile (I don’t know if this works for pc and console or multiplayer ark mobile) everytime you reset your game, your tamed snail will give you 100 Acatina paste (basically cementing paste) and 100 organic polymer, you can farm this really easily, I got 1.5k of each from one snail till i got bored
