The steam engine isn't connected to anything that needs power, so it won't produce any.

Icon will continue to flash if no power consuming object is connected. This is very confusing for a new player

That icon literally means "no network", it should be present. The problem is more that it's not obvious what it means due to the symbol not being very clear.
