WHAT DOES THE ACHATINA EAT AFTER TAME?!?!?!

[Jmantis]

I know it's tasty cakes to tame but that CAN'T be what it eats after tame......

[HüpfDuSau]

Tested it, they only eat cake. Put the cake in the inventory => they eat, put the cake in the trough, they eat. But i noticed some things: The veggie cake has a 15s cooldown on use, which applys also if its in the trough, so when you have multiple snails then only one can eat every 15s, after that the same or another can eat with another 15s cooldown. Second thing: veggie cake fills 200 hunger for them, so they drop a good ammount of hunger before they eat again. Also they loose hunger very slow, 1 cake each 1-2 real time days is enough (no modifiers) to keep them fed.

Hmm, izzat so? Perhaps with such a slow rate it wouldn't be too bad then, although I still say it's a bit steep for a solo player like myself. Anyone know what the spoil timer is on the cakes in their inventory?

i play on a private pvp server with no food modifiers, so yes, they loose hunger pretty slow. And for a solo player its no problem, just build 3 large crop fields and 2 small. Tame a phiomia, plant stimberrys in the two small crop plots, plant carrots, potatoe and corn in the big ones. Forcefeed stimberrys to the phiomia to generate insane amount of poop you can use for the fields. After that just wait untill the crops start to grow ( if you have the material, greenhouse helps) and you will never ever run out of veggie cake again. Spoil time is around 2.5 - 3 hours in their inventory. The harder part to get is the sap, since its very expensive to get that going.

And I have no idea why this thread is still going when the wiki clearly says its only food is the cake.

Thanks for the tips, but it's not so much the resource collection that's at issue...I already have a decent farm and dung beetles, and was planning to tap trees soon because one of my mods needs sap for crafting.

It's more the time having to be spent making the things. I don't mind a little upkeep once in a while, such as filling food troughs, collecting eggs and depositing fertiliser in crops. But cooking things takes quite a long time, and if I had to do it every day it'd get old really fast. In a tribe the duty could be shared out, but when playing solo only I would be responsible for it, and if it became too much of a chore it just wouldn't be worth it for me.

If they haven't eaten for you, it may be because they seem to eat every whenever they lose around 200 or 300 hunger. That's what I seem to have noticed.

[Belnick]

kinda weird, can stay under water for days, but only eat cake, annoying to have 5 fridges full of cake

Much easier to run out for stone and your Saber to farm Dunkleosteus for chitin and make the cp yourself!

Yeah much easier to grind chitin and stone rather than let a tame passively make 100 per hour. Alrighty then

[Catpoop]

Sorry but the food of the snails don't decrease very fast. just skill them on food and fill them up to maximum one time. it takes days until they really need food again.

Yea alrighty then....I'm on a Mod server where i can spend 30 min with a Saber attacking Dunk's in the water that practically repeatedly spawn 5-10 at a time right on top of me while i collect 750-900 Chitin per Dunk....then i hop on shore and farm a few stones for a few stacks of stone. So yea alrighty if you want to collect 100 cp per hour while i queue up 1000 cp each in 2 M & P or Chem bench and make a few Thousand in less time than it takes to wait passively for 100 then go ahead that's your perogative but I think i like my way much better being that it's actually more efficient and wastes less time but you go right there boss, hit a lick.

"A tamed Achatina will only eat Sweet Vegetable Cake, at a low rate. You can however forcefeed it these to top up it's food level."

Anyone saying their snail is eating berries on its own is lying or using a mod.

When a question is asked here, unless stated we are discussing officials so take your baby mode modded server experiences elsewhere.

Reading comprehension boss, its a life skill.

Dude, have you ever tried Structures +?... It's what ARK "SHOULD" be.
Much like a lot of other mods are (Omnicular for instance).
So please, YOU take your baby calling ways, pointless hours of farming for misplaced building, pointless demolishing and wasting of resources, because of "official" broken ARK joy...
and YOU... go elsewhere.

Minimalistic-Modded ARK is by far superior to your precious "official".
