Achatina Paste — Detailed Guide

The Achatina's stand-in for Cementing Paste

Wild and tamed Achatina both make this resource in ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK: Survival Evolved. Its in-game description: "Achatina secretion chemically similar to cementing paste." The ARK Wiki treats it as a full replacement for Cementing Paste: any recipe that calls for Cementing Paste can use Achatina Paste in its place, and it works the same way.

How an Achatina makes it

The paste builds up in the Achatina's inventory. A tamed one set to wander produces 1 Achatina Paste per minute and stops once 100 pieces sit in its inventory. Wandering Achatina also leave a trail of paste behind them, and both wild and tamed ones sometimes leave paste on the ground in place of poop.

Spoilage, weight and maps

Achatina Paste does not spoil, the ARK Wiki notes, which sets it apart from Organic Polymer, the substitute for Polymer. A piece weighs 0.01 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 1. Our records list it on 14 maps, among them The Island, Aberration, Crystal Isles and Lost Island, and name the Achatina as the creature that drops it.
