I'd like compatibility with Railcraft via making modern industrialization able to use railcraft steam since they're both fluids by forge standards. You could also make it an config option so people don't skip the mi boilers

It's a bit complicated. Boilers are locked to only accept steam, and this locking system only accepts a single fluid. It is difficult to accept multiple versions of steam.

In this case, can you make the steam inputs to not accept the fluid at all? Because the current situation is the machines are do accepting Railcraft steam as fluid just does not work with it, which causes a confusing situation.

Alternative suggestion is a - cheap - fluid adapter block or cover, that can accept various fluids categorized as steam and converts them directly to MI steam. It could mean BigReactor's steam, Mek's steam, whatever, AFAIK there is a whole tagging system for liquids that can be detected and converted to steam.

Blocking certain fluids from being used in machines would be even more confusing. MI likely will not add new blocks to convert steam fluids. That would be better fitting for some standalone mod.

From player perspective, if the machine does not accept the fluid I pipe into it, it means it could not use that fluid. However, especially in early game, every mB of fluids are valuable, piping a bunch of fluids to a machine to just watch it does nothing with that is more confusing I think than not accepting the fluid at all. If you do not limit the fluids on the machine at all, someone would pipe - accidentally - molten diamond into the machine and will not notice that. I do not know how you implemented "it can accept only single fluid" but you should consider some more restrictive filtering not in recipes but in the tank level itself.

Also, notifications, warnings should be written to places because from player perspective, there is no difference between RC steam and MI steam and for example, Mek steam. It is just steam, created from water by heating it.

If you meant to fuel your machines your own fluid, you should consider to rename it something "overheated water" or something that makes clear you did not meant "steam" - since other steams are not considered as fuel.
