Your screenshot is probably set to private.
One boiler creates 60 steam per second, each steam engine consumes up to 30 steam per second.
More than two steam engines per boiler is just a waste of materials.
You can put down more but they will only "seem" to work when your power demand is lower than what the 60 steam per second would provide.

If you are concerned with surge demand before you get accumulators you can build storage tanks with steam, thereby using more than 2 engines per boiler.

boiler and engine ratio stayed the same with Space Age, 1 boiler 2 engines. Your 4 engines can only work at 50 % each, because the boiler`s maximum is 60 steam/s and 4 engines would need 120/s to work at 100 %.

Water to steam ratio has changed to 10 %, so you use less pumps on more boilers.

Thank you very much.

So I learned a new thing about boilers and steam engine.
Sorry, my English is not so good.
