Each night with enough power the Furnace smelts once. It draws its power only on a night it smelts. It smelts only while the output has room for an ingot.
Purity starts at Low and rises with the share of Metal Ore in the smelt. Each full 100% of module Quality adds one level; the Blast module takes one level away.
A Flux Smelting Agent lifts that bonus to +1 when it is lower. The Basic agent is used up only then; the Advanced agent stays.

Perfect needs module Quality on top of flux.
The Furnace takes universal modules too. Performance does not change it: it smelts once per night.
