Helping my girlfriend stay cool during this heatwave

The heatwave in the UK is really doing a number on my girlfriend's head, we're trying to help her stay as cool as we can but it's very difficult with where she is.

She doesn't have much to work with, her fan isn't doing very much and she can find it hard to sit still so something like a flannel on the wrist or foot doesnt work too well massively.

Does anyone have any ideas as to something we could get her to help keep her cool? Anything like gadgets from amazon or easily accessible methods to keep her cool, thanks everyone.

(I understand this isnt necessarily talking about NDPH but she has it and I thought seeing what other people have would be a good place to find stuff.)

Advice for helping my girlfriend deal with NDPH

NDPH really tears apart my girlfriend, which really breaks my heart, so much so I just wish I could take it away from her.

I just want to find ways to help minimise pain. I have something special planned for her (can't say what because she follows my account), and I want to do what I can to help her minimise the pain.

Does anybody know anything that may've helped them? Even if it's just a tiny bit, so I can make that day a little more special for her and a little more stress free, thanks.

(Sorry if this post is a lil awkward, never really asked for advice for someone else like this)

Farmbots with the new raid system make mid-late game farming living hell

Whenever farmbots start getting deployed in raids, I find it almost impossible to manage base defense as farmbots will always zero in on you. You can hardly outrun them, they won't stop chasing you, and they have a ton of health. Trying to take down such a tanky bot that can sink up so much damage is dreadful. I've managed to find a spot on the map that makes it almost impossible to lose a raid because they all pile up in one spot but as soon as the farmbot starts getting involved it gives them a chance to break in. There's physically nothing I can do against these guys.

Axolot please nerf farmbots during raids because this feels awful and unfair.

Debatably hot take; Axolotl deserves the hate it gets.

Let me clear things up and say that I understand game development, especially to such a great extent as chapter 2, is a very draining task. There could be a million reasons why this is taking so long.

However the lack of communication from this studio is abhorrent, and their words and clarity get worse and worse every news update.

I can let the whole "Chapter 2 is coming 2023/2024" just for it to never happen bs slide because they gave their reasoning behind it, and a good one too. They work on their own engine meaning they have to really work hard to get what they want to work. And as much as I want to slander them for making that switch in the first place, it may have been a NEED rather than a WANT, which I can't blame them for. (Of course if it was a want, and they willingly chose to switch, I'm obviously not happy with that idea)

What I absolutely cannot excuse however, is how they have gone about giving news these past couple years. For years we went without an actual devlog, instead only having small snippets of what was to come on the twitter page. The issue with not having devlogs is that we never hear about where they are in development. We never find out how things are coming along outside of devlogs, yet we hadn't had one for years until December of last year.

And what do they say in December? "Keep a close eye on our socials in the coming months".

What do we do? We keep a close eye on their socials, nothing. They aren't clear with their time frames. "The coming months" is typically seen as a relatively soon time, like Q1 or maybe even Q2 of the year. But we're past Q2 now and we haven't heard a WORD from these guys.

It's humorous how dreadful they are at communicating ANYTHING.

The company keeps shooting themselves in the foot. All they need to do is communicate, to give clearer time windows. I understand delays can happen and I will never tolerate threats, or direct hate towards individual developers.

But the way they're going about all this is awful, and I honestly have no hope for the release of this chapter.

There's been no hype or buildup for the chapter, and I doubt will get much recognition or popularity outside of the already existing community because of this. I wouldn't even be surprised if it didn't pass the peak concurrent users (which was survivals release by the way) simply because of this.

They have a game with a tremendous amount of potential and they're blowing it because of their own actions, and I'm sick of acting like they aren't.

If someone at Axolot happens to read this, even if it's just some random dev. Please communicate with us or get someone to. We love your game but it's getting harder and harder by the day to hold onto hope when it feels like you don't care.

Is there any way of sending a redstone signal when an inventory reaches a certain amount?

The title speaks for itself. I'm relatively new to Create and I'm beginning to make some automated contraptions for my survival server. Is there any way I could stop some contraptions like my farm and a cobblestone generator automatically once the storage inventory reaches a certain amount to prevent overflow? Once again I'm quite new and I don't know all the little details and stuff yet, thanks.

How to make my ship not tilt in one direction? (Create: Aeronautics)

Hey, just started with the aeronautics mod the other day. I'm making my first airship today, but it's tilting because of the weight at the back, I tried adding propellers but they dont seem to have made much of a difference. Does anyone know any good ways to stop it from tilting like this and to just make it even? Thank you
