I have 1 pump, 12 boilers and 10 steam engines in the system. The boilers are fueled, but the dont heat up the water at all, it stays at 15 degrees in all of the boilers. There is water and coal in each boiler, but the water temperature stays the same. What do i do?

Thanks!

Can you post a sreenshot?

I'm a noob, so I posted 2 pictures of my screen. Can you please help me with the problem? Thanks!

Boilers have a water pipe passing through them, but they vent steam to the side.

You're inputting coal from the direction where your steam is supposed to come out of, while unheated water passes the boiler line and enters the steam engines without any stored energy.

I put the belt input system from the other side and nothing changed
P.S Sorry, got it!

THANKS!

Steam power changed in 0.15. It used to produce heated water and that was directly passed to the engines. Now the boilers produce actual steam that needs to be handled separately from the water going in. You can place two steam engines per boiler perpendicular to them:
Or you run all the steam into one pipe and run that into a long line of engines. Then it looks similar to the usual pre-0.15 setup. So the blue arrow opposite the inserter? That's where the steam comes out. So you can collect all the steam from a boiler row in a pipe running next to it
