What should I level my Achatina (snail) on?
I am curious if there is something that I could level it on so that it makes cp faster? Also does the level of the snail vary how fast it can produce it? I tamed one at level 265 I think and it ended up at level 400 with 100 percent taming effectiveness.

i suggest you pump its weight. It'll have a lot of cementing paste and organic polymer when wandering for a long time. I dont think theres a way for it to create cementing paste faster

Id put some in food due to their dumb cake only diet after taming

Speed is super funny, it's what I do.

It will only collect 100 CP and then stop, so weight doens't matter.

Health or food, nothing will make it produce CP faster or produce more, it can't attack, so logical choice would be hp and food.

I read one persons comment on dododex, they said that when it's food falls below 200 they will eat berries. Has anyone seen this happen?

I call that BS.
Achatina paste is capped at 100 per Achatina.
Org Polymer spoils before even 1 stack of it is filled up.

@op
Level Food on it or if you want to use it as org. Polymer storage (15h spoiltime per stack) level weight and food.

Food, definitely, or you'll have to cook cake every 2 days

Lol at any comment suggesting anything but food. The materials it produces are capped -_-

Even food is useless to pump on a snail. It will still hunger at the same rate, so you will still have to feed it the same amount, it will just take longer to accidentally kill due to neglect. If you play once every 2 days, the stats you pump make NO DIFFERENCE on the snail. Pumping food wont save you any food, just means you can neglect them for longer.. which I don't care.

That is why I'm pumping speed. I have a 200 snail, going to re-name him Turbo.

The best is to level food.
They need the cakes...and you do not always want to bake cakes...so food higher = a longer time till you have bake again :)

You should kill it with fire, waste of time. . .

Just collect CP with a frog or raid beaver dams, even grinding Chtin and Stone is much faster.

I do weight and use it to store organic polymer when farming it.

I keep it at the base, not wirth me, just use it as a storage box.

Yes I still collect w/ frogs, but it's entirely worth it to have say 10 snails laying around and passively generating 1000 cp.

You will want food on it to give you plenty of time between needing cakes to feed them. Ideally I think you want all your snails to have the same food stat so they're all on a similar hunger timer.

Weight is perfectly viable though, if you take a snail with you when clubbing penguins, you'll be able to gather far more organic poly by storing it in your snail.

also, many people are incorrect about the amount of organic poly it accumulates. the reason most of you only see small amounts of organic polymer is because it only creates organic polymer when it's achatina paste is at a full 100 stack in it's inventory, and the poly starts to decay un-replaced if you remove the paste. if you frequently harvest the paste, you won't see much poly.
that said... both paste and poly are capped to 100, so weight is not for their passive resource generation, only for storing organic poly while gathering very large amounts of it.
