Hello, we changed the way boilers work in 0.15, you need to upgrade your setup, they have different output for steam and are bigger.

I would like to see a collector thread for this topic like the island spawns.
Let's see how many we get together.

Steam is output on the side of the boilers. Connect your steam engines there and you get power.

On quick look it seems correct.
Is this network connected to power drain other then whats visible?
Mining drill is stopped since belt is full so it consumes very low power. Steam generators produce only as much power as needed.

Thank you!

I didn't knew I need to consume power for the steam engine to work... so I was thinking it was incorrect.

Try clicking a power pole.
It will show electric network statistics where you can see whats going on in more detail.
