Using Beelzebufos, one can farm a lot of cement paste in ARK: Lost Island. One has to take Beelzebufo to the nearest jungle, redwood, or swamp and have it chomp down a few Meganeuras and Titanomyrmas.

When attacking their corpse with the main attack, they turn into the paste. It is a great way to farm a lot of paste with a well-tamed Beelzebufo. The Artifact of the Immune cave is always a good place for bug-hunting, as it spawns a lot of insects.


2) Using Achatina

Achatinas produce Achatina paste, which is a complementary ingredient for cementing paste. An Achatina makes one Achatina paste per minute. And it can hold 100 Achatina pastes in their inventory. As long as one has enough sweet veggie cakes, farming Achatina paste is very easy.

The best place to find Achatinas are the small islands in the bottom right portion of the ARK: Lost Island map. One can make Achatina paste farms using Gachas, which keeps up the supply of Achatina paste for a long time.

While looting the dam, nearby Castroides get hostile. After looting everything, the beaver dam gets destroyed. It is recommended to do so, as it speeds up the process of beaver dam spawning. One must try looting the dams without killing the beavers, as they might not spawn again.
