How to Increase Hearts (Livability) in Dondoko Island

In Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Yakuza 8), your Livability affects how you perform tasks on Dondoko Island. Read on to learn more about how to increase hearts for Kasuga's Livability and factors that affect your Livability.

How to Increase Hearts

Increase Building Talent to Level 5

Keep crafting DIY projects until you get your Building Talent to Level 5. Once you reach this level, you will unlock the blueprint for the Majima Construction Helmet.

Create Furnishing That is Smaller and Complete

Since the Majima Construction Helmet only takes up a single 1x1 tile, this furnishing lets you increase your Livability level to the maximum of 5,000 without the need to expand.

The helmet can also be placed outdoors since this item increases your Popularity level by 5. Each piece of furnishing increases your Livability level by 20 so by only using the helmet, you can achieve the maximum Livability level by crafting this for a total of 250 items.

How to Farm Materials

Add Furnishing and Raise Your Livability to 5000

When you install furnishing and reach a Livability level of 5000, you will reach the maximum number of hearts. Getting your Livability level to the maximum level early on lets you collect materials more efficiently and increase your resort rank.

Furnishing Inside Your Home Only Increases Your Livability Level

Furnishing placed inside your home does not affect the quality of the island but rather only increases the quality of your home.

Livability Effect on Collecting Resources

Depending on the condition of Kasuga, the amount of resources you can gather changes. The better Kasuga's condition is, the more resources you can get and the more efficient your collecting efforts will be.

Livability Levels Affect Strength

Increases Kasuga's Strength up to Ten

As you increase your Livability level, you also increase Kasuga's physical strength up to a maximum of 10. If you have physical strength, the less like you are to be knocked down when you take damage in battle.

How to Check Livability

Check the Bottom Right of the Menu

You can see your current Livability level by checking the bottom right corner of the screen when you pull up the menu. You can also check your Livability by going into edit mode at Kasuga's house.
