It can though, all three things can be built independently of each other - which means all you need is five cores and some juggling. It's only one more thing to juggle than kiln/smelter. I have I think 13 cores (which means I can repair weapons and cape) and imo I'm basically done with the mistlands except for two more seals to take on the queen sometime and farming mushrooms.

+1 everything else.

Didn't think about the fact that you could just build one then the other.. still a pain though to have to do that. Still a good point to bring up and will remember it next time.

As it stands right now:

-You would need to get lucky and find a wiped out dwarven fortress and loot an extractor or kill them yourself (which isn't hard you can cheese the range with arrows)

-Then you need to collect the sap which you will need like 28 of to make the cape (including benches needed), 31 if you want to upgrade it.

-Go through 1-3 mines depending on drop chance to get the 5 cores you need. I've gotten as little as 0 and as much as 7 so that is completely RNG.

-You need 28 soft tissue, you can get this from 1 skull. Not too bad might have to kill 3-5 ticks.

-Kill 5-10 seekers/soldiers for the scales (no issue here) you'll passively get this while clearing the mines for the cores.

Now that I have mapped it all out if you focused on it you could have the cape within a couple hours probably depending on RNG. I will actually rush this next time.
