Issue description
Exoflames only burn 3 items in a funace with the equivalent on mana of a single coal, then it almost burns a 4th but it stops, and when hovered with the wand, it shows that the flowers is 9/10 full of mana.
Steps to reproduce
place a pool, spreader and endoflame
give the endo one piece of coal
let it burn
put a messenger lens to the spreader for max mana in the pool
place a furnace
place the exo
put something to smelt in the furnace
observe

@JustRed23 just to be clear, this post is talking about exoflames, not endoflames
I'll paste the comment from discord here too for reference.
one coal makes 1200 mana, an exo can hold 300 and consumes 300 per item; the problem? it can't smelt one item with 300 mana (it almost does), and even if it could, it will only smelt 4 items per coal (as for now it smelts 3 or 4 as shown in previous tests), I assume this was changed when the exploit was patched but never properly tested?
I guess I'm not sure where exactly the bug is. What exact behaviour are you expecting to happen, at which point in the past did it happen, and what's going on now?
Uhm, I was under the impression that the lexicon implied that exoflames were more efficient than using regular fuel on a furnace, but that's not the case... So I guess this is not really a bug.
What I was expecting is that exoflames could burn at least the same amount of items as a piece of fuel can, for example 1 coal burns 8 items, but if you convert it to mana and then use the exo to burn, it only does 3 items.
it came to my knowledgeable that the more exo you use, the more efficient they get, it also escalates with the amount of things you smelt, so this issue is irrelevant.
To resume; the more exoflame you have in a setup, the faster the furnace will work which makes the flower use less mana, adding more furnaces doesn't seem to affect that much in the amount of items you can smelt / mana, also the more you smelt at a time the more efficient it gets, whilst 1 coal converted to mana with 1 exo wouldn't smelt 8 items, the mana equivalent to a stack of coal will smelt more than it would in normal form.
