Overview
The Achatina is a small herbivore farmed for its exceptional weight-reducing properties. It provides a -90% weight reduction for Achatina Paste, Organic Polymer, and Sweet Vegetable Cake. This makes it essential for long-haul resource transport, especially when paired with flyers like Argentavis or Quetzal.
It can be carried by several large creatures, enabling fast aerial deployment across vast distances.

More about taming the Achatina
Achatina must be knocked out before taming. The only effective food is Sweet Vegetable Cake. It takes about 15 of these to tame, with a taming time of roughly 33 minutes and requires 8 Narcotics. Use a Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y to immobilize it. Apply Tranq Arrows from a Crossbow or Tranquilizer Darts from a Longneck Rifle for sedation. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Achatina is highly vulnerable to explosions, taking +120% more damage from instant-damage sources. It also takes +55% more damage from metal melee attacks. Conversely, it has strong resistance to spike walls and ranged turrets, both reducing damage by -50%.
The Achatina has zone-specific damage multipliers. The head takes full damage, the tail takes half, and the joint17 area takes only 10%, making headshots the most efficient for knockout.
Tips
- Achatina provides a massive -90% weight reduction for its named resources, making it ideal for polymer and paste farming runs.
- It can be carried by Argentavis, Desmodus, Griffin, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Kaprosuchus, Procoptodon, Quetzal, and Tusoteuthis for rapid transport.
- Its extreme vulnerability to explosion damage makes it dangerous to use near artillery or demolition charges.
- It resists damage from spike walls and ranged turrets, making it slightly safer in automated defensive zones.
