Achatina life drain?

[Josetrujillo_43]

When i knock out an achatina for tame, the health its being drained, its this normal or not?

I do believe achatinas are a passive tame

[Lord Kouranis]

achatinas are knock out tame with vege cakes. ovis are passive tame with vege cakes.

i know, i have a fews with me, but the life drains quickly for eating it

It's an old bug. Will hopefully get fixed soon.

It is a bug, in my experience it depends on the terrain/area hether they lose hp during taming oer not. I tamed like 20 snails on The Center map, and if I did it on th shores close to the swamp they always died, If I broght them a bit more east, they didnt.
But it might be just coincidence...

Just remembered: Might have something to do if they're damaged prior to getting knocked out. Best bet is to only take "healty", undamaged snails and take them home for taming. If they're damaged, give them some time to heal up a little.

Sorry i was really tired when i read your thread xD I misread what dino you were trying to tame, i thought you were taming the centipedes

Maybe you didn't put food fast enough into their inventory? They get hungry, incredibly quickly, and especially on the low level ones, if you don't put cakes into their ivnnetory immediatly after they are knocked out they starve.

They're too far away from water, snails need to close-ish to a water source or they'll lose health.

Never heard of that. Tamed mine inside my Base (fully enclosed room) far away from even Water Taps...

jup
and if you find a snail too far from water, you can simply use grabling hook to carry it to a lake befor you knock it out...
thats how I do it, have a nice little base build onto a lake or river and simply drop the wild snail in it befor knocking it out^^

its true though, but the "ground" water is enough, if you build your base on very low ground, it counts as close to water (because if you look under the ground, the entire map has water under it :))
and this being-nearby-water thing ignores walls etc, the distance disregards objects in the way

It wasnt damaged, was on the swamp near me and i grab it via argent to the taming pen on base

Rare, i have my base in south one, on the ground between the minilake and the open sea on the right, maybe have to be on the water?
