Kahve Ruins is a location in Magical Starsign. Found at the highest point of Erd near the Quiet Plateau, it is an industrial plant that once belonged to the Espresso civilization. On the top floor is Neumann, a magical rocket left behind by the Espressos, and in the basement are machines that manufacture artificial gummies needed to sustain the ancient robots. The ruins are powered by a windmill in the Land Where the Stars Sleep, which has not been operational for thousands of years.

History
Built over 12,800 years ago, Kahve Ruins was designed to mass produce gummy-making robots for the Espressos. They were lead by Dr. Calzone, who was inspired by the yogart gurus' ability to send their souls into the sun, where the light planet Nova was said to exist. However, their experimentation started a brutal war, in which the brownies and robots revolted against the Espressos. Those who could not flee the planet were turned into gummies in Kahve Ruins, their lives being repurposed as energy for the robots' battery cores. One of these victims was a girl named Applepie, whose gummified remains were stored in a vault at the top of the ruins.
Magical Starsign
When the protagonist and Lassi crash landed on Erd several thousands of years later, they traveled north to Kahve Ruins. Swarmed by rogue robots, they soon arrived at the top level where the magical rocket Neumann was housed. However, Robot D12S knocked both of them out and locked them inside Gumbo Gaol before they could hijack it. The protagonist and Lassi eventually returned to the ruins after powering up a generator in the Land Where the Stars Sleep, overpowering the robots and securitron 2 to commandeer Neumann, who flew them to Cassia.
Once all six students reunited and began their hunt for the millennium gummies, they explored Erd once more in search of the earth millennium gummy. Mokka spontaneously broke down in Rio Villa, to which a robot suggested the students recharge him in Kahve Ruins. They obliged and brought him to the ruins' basement level, discovering a room with basins and the splattered remains of gummified Espresso people. Rogan Josh then arrived to explain the Espressos' history, goals, and grisly fate. After recharging Mokka, the students could take an elevator to Applepie's vault and battle her, obtaining her access card upon putting her to rest.
While the party ventured across Shadra on the way to Chromagar Cave, dwarves from Condimen Tower utilized the computer systems in Kahve Ruins to help their allies from afar. The protagonist would later team up with the dwarves on Erd after the final battle against Shadra, helping them renovate Kahve Ruins into a gigantic radio telescope. When the telescope picked up a faint signal from outer space, the protagonist boarded an incomplete rocket that Lassi had built out of Mokka's body, blasting off with Chai secretly in tow.
Trivia
- On the map of the subbasement level, the gummy basins are highlighted turquoise in the Japanese version, while they are gray in the United States and European versions.
