What are tips for achatina? Tips and strategies for achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Here is an overview of the achatina (aka snail.)
You can tame a snail exclusively with sweet vegetable cakes. When tamed they also only consume sweet vegetable cake. They can take anywhere from 1-8 cakes to tame. (Levels 1-150) They always tame with max bonus levels. Never hit them in the shell because they take much less torpor damage. Try and aim for their head. These guys drop chitin and raw meat. (They can also drop angler gel in old mobile.) They also defecate achatina paste. Achatina paste is used as a substitute for cementing paste. When tamed, they will passively produce one organic polymer in their inventory every 60 minutes and its spoil timer will be 3x slower along with corrupted nodule. It has a 90% weight reduction for achatina paste, organic polymer, and corrupted nodule. They produce achatina paste in their inventory every minute. (Everything they produce caps at 100) They can wear hats. They can be picked up by everything but the tapejara and tropeognathus. That is everything I know! Have an amazing day and thank you for reading. :)
I don't understand if it only eats cake then how does it survive in the wild? For every good ded does it get cake? These are questions that will never be answered
TIPP: Achatinas can produce organic Polymer. You can just craft a fridge with the organic Polymer and destroy it. Every time you destroy a fridge you get normal Polymer back. That means you can transform organic Polymer to normal Polymer. I found it out yesterday by myself.
(It also works with organic Oil)
Just tame 5 or 10 of these and put inside them a lot of Stone or something heavy so they cannot move when you put them into patrol. With that, they passively generated 100 achatina paste every hour. When you don't take those achatina paste, they start to generate organic Polymer. Just make sure those snaila cannot move and you have a nice auto-paste farming.
2/10 a bit easy cause it does not attack back but it can go in it's shell wich is the hard part
They can wear hats!!!
I recommend you find a wild one and trap it in an enclosure, it'll poop out cementing paste without you needing to tame it
- Snippet the compy
I once knocked one out in the redwoods and got it to 85% when a carno came out and started eating him. He wouldn’t even re-agro onto me when i was hitting him.
If you are considering breeding these, go slam your hand in a car door a few times. It will be much less painful. Literally one veggie cake per percent of growth....and it grows slow.. Digests roughly one point of food per second, so feed a cake about one for every 7 mins (during event boost) and it will gain one percent of growth.
He slip, he slime, but most importantly... to tame take a lot of time.😎😎😎
U CAN GET CAKES THROUGH CHEF STATION ON MOBILE!
I like to make note that this is a knock out tame
Do not starve tame. There is a cool down on the veggie cakes that don't allow it to eat them as quickly as needed.
And their not breedable! Why. I want baby achatina!!!!
