Steam engine seems bugged

The layout has changed with one of the latest steam updates so I tried to figure out the offshore pump - boiler - steem engine mechanics.
I noticed that adding boilers and steam engine did not increase my energy output - it was with 8 boilers and 10 steam engines around 1MW.
So I tried test setups with just one pump, one boiler and one steam engine. The performance was 50-80%
Interestingly when I added a second pump, boiler and steam engine - not connected to the first one in any way - the performance dropped to 20-40% on both.
Together they produced roughly the same amount of electricity as just one.

Please have a look at it..

The avaible performance is 100%. The current performance is below that because you don't consume that much power. The current performance will go up when you consume more power. NaB

Can confirm what Bilka said.

Moving to NaB...
