The Chrono Arcade is a hangout and minigame venue in Starsand Town, run by Loren. Located northeast of the town center near the Community Center, it is open from 08:00 to 22:00 daily. The arcade features two playable minigames, a gachapon (gacha) machine system, and lottery scratchcards. All powered by Tokens, the arcade's internal currency.
Tokens are the currency used for everything inside the Chrono Arcade. You can obtain them in three ways:
Free daily tokens: 20 tokens per day from the cash register. Walk up to the register and collect them.
Purchased tokens: Up to 80 additional tokens per day at a rate of 10 Gold = 1 Token.
Arcade game prizes: You win a small number of tokens every time you play an arcade game.
The maximum daily total is 100 tokens (20 free + 80 purchased), costing at most 800 Gold for the purchased portion. Loren also gives you 20 free tokens as a daily shop deal.
Two gachapon machines sit on the counter next to the cash register. Each pull costs 20 Tokens (equivalent to 200 Gold). You receive a colored capsule that must be opened from your inventory.
Navigate to your inventory.
Select the gachapon capsule.
Open the submenu and choose "Open" (not "Use" or "Examine").
Make sure you have inventory space before opening.
Capsules come in five colors: Golden, Purple, Blue, Green, and White. Despite appearances, color does not affect contents or rarity. Community testing has confirmed all colors draw from the same loot pool.
Common: Stone, Softwood, Fiber, Copper Ore, Tin Ore.
Uncommon: Iron Ore, Hardwood, Rope, Copper Bar, Tin Bar, basic gems.
Rare: Gold Ore, Radiant Crystals, Ancient Precision Parts, furniture items, crafting recipes (e.g., Wok Spatula), consumable buffs.
Ancient Precision Parts: Extremely rare and non-renewable. Required for high-end tech items. Can also be obtained from the Ore Analyzer using Common Ore Chunks.
Wok Spatula Recipe: A gachapon-exclusive cooking tool crafting recipe.
Furniture items: Random decorative items unavailable anywhere else on the island. These count toward the Home Items category in the Islandpedia.
There is no pity system, drops are pure RNG with no guaranteed rates or luck buffs.
The Chrono Arcade has two playable minigames. Both offer rewards through two systems: cumulative point milestones (all points add up across sessions) and personal best high scores.
A Tetris-style puzzle game. Move, rotate, and fit falling shapes together to complete lines. Completed lines disappear. If blocks stack to the top of the screen, you lose.
Cumulative rewards start at 500 points (Valkyrie's Welcome Mat Blueprint).
Higher milestones award clothing items up to 75,000 cumulative points.
A Snake-style game where you control a capybara running around the screen eating everything in sight. The capybara's body grows longer as it eats. You lose if you hit a wall or the capybara's own body.
Cumulative rewards start at 200 points (Capy-Alarm Clock Blueprint).
Higher milestones award cosmetics up to 30,000 cumulative points.
Lottery scratchcard machines are also available inside the arcade:
Single-panel scratchcard: 5 Tokens. Smaller chance of winning.
Multi-panel scratchcard: 10 Tokens. Better winning odds.
Both scratchcard types award additional tokens as prizes.
Early game (0–10 hours): Only claim daily free tokens. Buy 1 gachapon per day. Save your Gold for seeds, tools, and land expansion.
Mid game (10–50 hours): Start purchasing tokens. Buy in bulk (100–200 tokens at a time). Open gachapons in batches.
Late game (50+ hours): Buy maximum tokens daily (800 Gold is negligible at this stage). Treat it as part of your daily routine. The rare drops (Ancient Precision Parts, exclusive furniture) become the main draw.
The StarNote app has quests requiring you to open 5, 10, or 20 gachapons. These quests are retroactive. Previously opened capsules count toward completion.
Always collect your 20 free tokens from the cash register daily. Even if you do not plan to play, you can stockpile them for gachapon pulls.
Play Foodybara and Starblock regularly. The cumulative point rewards are free blueprints and cosmetics that you cannot get anywhere else.
Do not chase specific gachapon drops. There is no pity system. Open in bulk and accept what comes.
Ancient Precision Parts from gachapons are non-renewable and extremely valuable. Save them for high-tier crafting recipes.
Gachapon capsule color does not matter, do not waste time trying to pick a specific color.
The Merchant Ship at Starsand Port buys items at 200% value. Sell unwanted common gachapon drops there for maximum profit.
