Reduced the total time needed to research the tier 2 facilities level.

Fixes

Number of autosaves has been reduced to ten due to a behaviour that was occurring from the engine having around so many of these slots.
Fixed a crash that would occur in stage eight if an idol was targeted by a stalker.
Fixed a scenario that would cause an idol's sprite to disappear if they were exposed to yandere mode.
Fixed a bug that would cause an idol to retain job progress on cancelled jobs.
Fixed a bug that would cause the penalty for the gravure job to grant purity rather than remove it.
Fixed a crash that would occur when the player starts a live with an office that features an event room.
Fixed the experience bar for the HP bar showing incorrect values between levels.
Fixed a crash that would occur as a result of an idol is performing either the first pitch or gym ad jobs.
Fixed a bug that would cause moving furniture to incorrect award KN or DEC.
Fixed a bug that would delay an idol from performing the action of recording a PV.
Fixed an occurrence that would cause the song maker icons to go outside their area of the UI.
