What is a achatina used for? achatina battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You can absolutely abuse this things, this things can be used to dupe Polymer...
Get the polymer out of this things, put it on a storage Unit you have, manually save the game, then enter the game again, then check this things inventory and it should be working finely... Only for mobile sadly...
(If this still working, You know what you should do, Last tested was 29-Oct/24)
***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.
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.😌
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.
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.
