Despite HOI4 not even being out I am already thinking about modding...

I know the it takes 70 days to finish a national focus, and I would bet my steam library that that time is changeable, but if I wanted to add smaller foci, that don't do as much but take less time, is it possible to individually set the time to finish different foci?

If you need an example: the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact should take the full 70 days, but the germans later made a revision in which they gave Lithuania to the soviets in return for more of Poland, it would be nice to add that but it wouldn't make sense if it took the full 70 days; it would never be worth doing. So could I keep the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact focus at 70 days, but have the revision to it take 10 days?

I would bet that you can. I believe I remember somewhere that the Soviet national foci the purge takes about 270. This means that the normal 70 days isn't hard coded, which means yes.

Wonderful! I couldn't be happier, well, unless the announcement on Tuesday is that they have brought forward the release...
