Difficulty+ (Nightmare Edition)

Warning: this mod requires a new character for full effect, and is character binding (Difficulty+ and its addons are not, however). Sadly, I've learned that this is unavoidable. This mod could also use some more testing.
DO NOT use this with Difficulty+ or its addons. It shouldn't brake your game if you do, but Difficulty+ and the addons will simply have no effect as they would be overruled by Nightmare Edition.
This is a much more extreme version of Difficulty+. If you want a more reasonable increase in difficulty, use that instead.

You are limited and temporary. Your body will fail you. You are but a spec in the vast cosmos; a tiny fish in a ocean full of sharks. If you ever for once think that this world will hold back its punches then you will have made your last fatal mistake. Pray to whatever gods you want to, but they won't listen. Bullets and blades know no mercy. All you can do is shoot and stab back, hoping that you end them before they end you. Sharpen your blade, load your gun, and prepare to die.

- Armor is much weaker, and is no longer the end-all of combat. Armor also no longer provides health (seperator armor provides more defense instead).
- Defense follows an absorbtion curve like in Alternative Armor Scale.
- Damage is higher than what it is in Increased Damage.
- There is less of a gap between planet tiers, this means that lower tier planets can still be dangerous late in the game.
- You are no longer invulnerable after you get hit. Thats right, you no longer phase out of reality for safety, and fast-attacking enemies are a serious threat to your wellbeing.
- With the difference in damage and health, there is a new curve for everything else. You will get the same consistency in difficulty as you would in Difficulty+.
