Getting Cementing Paste in Ark Scorch Earth is hard as there are no beaver dams, but we have their alternates. Cementing Paste is used to craft materials like weapons and polymers and in many crafting recipes.
As this resource can be crafted from Chitin/Keratin, you must hunt creatures that drop this item after getting killed. Once you have Chitin/Keratin, collect some stones and craft Cementing Paste in Mortar and Pestle.
Another way of getting this item without crafting is to tame Achatinas and gather their paste. The Achatina Paste is a substitute that can be used instead of Cementing Paste.
This guide details both methods and a spawning method that adds the resource directly into your inventory without finding it in Ark Scorched Earth, so without any further ado, let’s get into it.
1. Taming Achatina
The first method involves taming Achatinas. We recommend visiting the Old Church cave because it has high-level tamable snails. The map image shows the coordinates of the cave.
Once you locate a snail, shoot it in the head to knock it out and move a sweet vegetable cake inside their inventory. Once you have the creature tamed, put it inside a cage and enable its behavior to wander. After a few minutes, the creature will start producing Achatina Paste, an alternative to Cementing Paste.
2. Hunting Mantis
Killing creatures like Thorny Dragon, Water Jug Bug, and Oil Jug Bugs give you a small quantity of Chitin. But if you head out to the desert area and take down Mantis, you can farm tons of Chitin. Mantis can easily be found almost everywhere in the desert area.
Cementing Paste Console Command
If you’re having trouble finding Cementing Paste in Ark Scorched Earth, you can use its item ID to spawn large amounts of this resource through the server admin console. To do this, start your game and press “TAB” to open the server console. Next, type in:
“cheat gfi ChitinPaste 1 0 0”
Press enter, and you’ll have the resource in your inventory. Note that for this work, you need to be the admin of the server you’re playing on.
