What is a achatina used for? achatina battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Not only do these guys defecate cementing paste, they produce it & organic polymer passively if set on wander. If you need cp, tame a few. They produce 100 cp. Idk if lvling weight effects how much org poly it can hold? Maybe lvling food makes it defecate more? Idk 🤷♂️ Leveling these guys doesn’t do anything :/ frustrating but I have 3, building a metal base a lot faster than grinding chitin and stone or beezlebuffo. Swear beezlebuffo should be able to harvest cp off spiders and scorpions, dinos that drops chitin ;( but they don’t
Plop it at your base and then somehow aquire a personal honey bee hive for veggie cakes. Great for polymer and cementing paste. Upgrade their food bar whenever it gets enough exp. So then it can go a lot longer without food, and wont die as fast from starvation. I can play for like three days and then decide whether or not I want to top up its food bar.
Noob Informer 2.0: So, Achatinas, they spawn on every map except Genesis Part 1, they are good for getting Cementing Paste and eventually Organic Polymer, they do not Pose any Threats in the Wild whatsoever, neither when Tamed, Achatinas are tamed via Veggie Cakes, which are decently Challenging to make, but you will get it! I forgot how to make Veggie Cakes but I believe in whoever is taking this as Advice! :D, Anyways, to tame a Achatina, make some Veggie Cakes, And ONLY Shoots them in the Head when Tranqing, they are Relatively easy to knock out, and on The Island, they can be found in the Redwoods, and on Crystal Isles, Grasslands, that is all I know pretty much, I don’t see them often on any other Maps, once they are Knocked out feed them Veggie Cakes and let them Tame! Once they are Tamed enjoy you’re Achatina! :>, I would recommend Crafting a Wooden Cage and picking up a Achatina and YEET it in there, set it on Wandering, and you have a Organic Polymer and Cementing Paste Farmer! Up this Tip if it helped you out! :D
In my experience, it's just easier to farm bugs on beelzebufo for cementing paste and use a pelagornis to farm organic polymer from wild/bred kairuku instead of using expensive resources to feed the achatina. I guess if you live in redwoods by a lake with irrigation pipes carrying water up to your trees base with tons of sap taps, then go ahead and tame an army. But if you're like me, and you live on the southern haven, you can't really get the resources needed for achatina efficiently.
Put tamed Achatina in a wooden cage on wander. Then check periodically to take off organic cementing paste (which does not spoil). This prevents picking up thier cementing paste poop but you only get 1 from each poop so not a big loss. Tame 5 to 10 and have a cementing paste farm and great organic polymer storage.
