Doing the tutorial. I built my steam engine right on shore and then decided to move it up some. When I placed everything again the bullet for "Provide a steam engine with steam" is not marked complete.

Edit:Discovered it is being caused by my power drain being more than the power produced. I added another generator and it lit back up. Do with it what you will

Edit2: When you complete the other objectives the overall objective still completes correctly even with that bullet not set as complete.

Can you provide a save file?

I tried to upload one but it went away?

OK that worked. If you add an engine it'll mark the milestone as achieved but if you remove one it removes the milestone. It's not super clear as-worded. There is clearly steam in the engine but it isn't ENOUGH steam to mark the box. I'm not sure if that is clear enough for a new player or not. It's trivial to add another steam engine but it isn't clear that that will solve the issue. The engine you have DOES have steam.

I think i know what is causing this. I will take a look.
