Hello,
if you want more than 1 boiler to be utilised, you also need more steam engines to consume to hot water, boilers work only, if the water they have inside is less than 100 degrees.
When you have only one steam engines, it doesn't consume the water quickly enough, so the water flows slowly and the first boiler has enough time to heat the water.
