Steam engine not taking in water
I'm just trying the 0.15 beta. I have a pump from the water, boilers, then a steam engine on the end. The engine says no water drawing. Also the boilers all say 15 degrees. What am I doing wrong?

And yes, power poles are hooked up and to electric loader arms.

You are missing that the boilers put out steam to the side.

Just gonna copy paste this from another comment about the boilers...

Press the "alt" key and take a good look at the arrows.

They don't work like the old boilers. They have two water intake/outputs and a steam output.

Ah thanks. I just come back to actually say I just figured out what the bit on the side is for. Interesting change.

The change is undoubtedly related to the addition of nuclear power and the raising of the temperatures to above boiling. Would be weird having water at 165c, after all.... well, assuming Earth-like pressures.
