Steam Boiler Problem(maybe bug)

You may also need to temporarily remove the liquiducts till the multiblock forms - other blocks touching can interfere with it.
Could be anything!
1 - Steam boilers must not touch - not sure about corners touching but I know side on they cant
2 - you have a valid layout of nine solid or liquid burners underneath ie not mixed or missing? (mentioned above)
3 - you have nub-caked and left a gap in the middle? (I HAVE DONE THIS!)
why did the liquiduct connect? move this
I would suggest building in layers , lay the solid or liquids then 1 layer of 9 boilers and see if they hook up, if not then its probably the touching thing
side note - is your steam consumer pulling in all the steam? On 36 HP boiler you need multiple connections to the consumer to get the 720 steam in

Consumers accept 160mb of steam per side. One is taken up by the bridge so thats 5 sides that can accept steam. One 36HP boiler produces 720 steam. One consumer cant handle more then 1 36HP boiler.. Because the consumer at MAX can accept 800mb. Anyways hope this helps.
This limitation is caused by the liquiducts, the consumer itself can process 1.000 steam/tick. (Simply feed all steam into tesseracts and then slap the receiving tesseract on the consumer. This one face connection is enough, no additional pipes required.)
As for the original question, remove the liquiduct.
Railcraft multiblock structures can't touch each other even by corners. The liquiducts do not matter, only the fact that you are trying to form two of the same multiblock structure too close to each other. I believe you can still have two different multiblocks touching but not sure about that.
