What Achatina harvests from nodes
Node Harvest Calculator
Calculate expected resource yield per node for any dino. Select a node type and harvester.
Metal Nodes
Stone
MetalEach hit on a node generates resource drops. The game randomly picks a resource from the loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the node faster, which can reduce total drops. The "best" melee is where you get the most drops.
What you get harvesting corpses with Achatina
Corpse Harvest Calculator

Raw Meat
Hide
Raw Prime MeatEach hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Achatina is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Farmer category.
Starting at 75 Health, it's very frail. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Achatina brings solid damage output to the table. With 100 base Stamina, the Achatina has low stamina reserves. A base Weight of 60 means not built for hauling.
You'll need to knock the Achatina unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Sweet Vegetable Cake for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Achatina is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.69 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
