Can't make tier 3 Engineering reagents without concentration?

Engineering reagents are difficulty 410.
390 is the most you get, using level 5 tools and 3 star materials, without racial bonuses.

Jewelcrafting reagents are difficult 305.

Is this an engineering bug, feature, or am I missing something? Does anyone know how to craft 3 star engineering reagents without concentration?

390 that is with the wheel dedicated to parts fully filled?

You can do it with 100 skill, blue tools and the ‘inventing’ and ‘parts’ wheels maxed out. That’ll get you to 412 skill. Here’s the craft sim window.

I’ve added 55 skill for the 33 skill i’m missing plus 10 from the blue tool and 6 each from the blue accessories.

If I remember correct in DF I had to use mettle for arclight capacitors. Or is it because I refused to burn R3 khaz-gorite for those and used R2s instead with the rest R3?

You’re the man, thanks. I’d had the green tools equiped and didn’t realize there was a higher tier that gave more skill.
