What it’s good at

Organic Polymer/Corrupted Nodule Storage

Provides a Spoil Multiplier of 3× for and within its inventory (90 minutes). Achatina can be carried while hunting creatures such as the , , , or to extend the lifespan of the Organic Polymer and Corrupted Nodules harvested.

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

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

This can be paired with a 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 will have spoiled when the 3rd is generated. This results in the production of a stack (20x) of organic polymer in 50 hours. During this time, 30 organic polymers will have spoiled. After the first stack, the spoil rate is even higher. Therefore, organic polymer production is most effective when it is immediately collected and used. For this reason, multiple Achatinas are recommended.

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 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 to collect it.

Underdog Tank

The Achatina's shell reduces 90% of the incoming damage, this in combination with a good equipped helmet makes it a very good little tank. Take in mind that the Achatina has no gender, so it cannot get ed

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 , which appear either on its shell or on the…
