how 'bout a lightning rod? haven't played hamlet yet so if you are unable to build that in hamlet then i don't know, but otherwise, it sounds like something you could use there

I' m having terrible experience with Hamlet as well. The excessive, over the top difficulty suck any enjoyment from game. Survived 1 cycle of season, but I know game over once apocalypsis came. I don't have enough time, heals and resosurces to find that damn calender and not die through those dungeon mazzes.

And I have no reliable solution over ever increasing bat waves. I don't have anything for traps and they appear way too often and way too quickly. If they catch you during heavy fog rain outside of pig village - you are dead.

Try playing with WX-78, who is my main because I resonate with the angry automaton on various levels. If you survive the first humid season, you get my badge of approval. Tip: get a house, stockpile tubers, while planting the nettles. Because apparently, a machine must sneeze as well.
Might as well just invest in, and wear, a gas mask all the damn time. Sanity be damned. My metal overlord isn't even immune to poison gas, despite being immune to the poison status effect.

Overall, Hamlet and Shipwrecked are some of the worst dlc that could have been made for this game. I remember when I first heard about Shipwrecked "Islands to explore around my big map? Water finally going to be a gameplay feature? Great!!". I bought it without even reading the description, turned on the game and Im disappointed to this day. Instead of an add-on similar to Giants, which would expand the game with islands that could be explored, we got a separate game mode separated from everything else. I never understood the point of this add-on. And thats exactly what they did with Hamlet - a separate gamemode that doesn't add gameplay but creates... It doesnt really create much, it's a reskin of the game with some new items and some pretty weak new mechanics like stop the apocalypse in 60 days by looking for monuments and a calendar in a maze full of ghosts, or you will die. Together combined these ideas, so why is everything separate here? Why can't I go to tropical islands in winter in search of treasures and come back in the spring? Unfortunately, the development of the original DS ended with the Giants. Now it's better to play Together, even solo.

I mean, you can... just make a Seaworthy to go to Shipwrecked or a Skyworthy for both Hamlet and SW. Time will still pass in RoG while you are in another world, letting you skip winter or summer. I assume you didn't know you can do that already.

SW and HAM are not connected on the same map as RoG, but those machines still let you teleport between all 3 worlds and bring items back and forth, mixing mechanics. Get the key to the city for example and you can even build hamlet structures in SW and RoG. My day 1000 RoG world has houses, pig cities, lamp posts, shops, coffee plants, obisidian firepits etc all in one base. My SW world is also a tropical city, and then I use Hamlet to farm resources to fuel all of that. It's fun and adds a much deeper endgame to DS compared to DST.
