Devour Mechanic Resets Bite Count After Dropping Target

Status:	Resolved
Priority:	Medium

Due date:
Reported for:	0.1.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. bite a human twice with a large+ carnivore
2. once the devour mechanic starts, bite them 2 more times
3. drop them
4. wait for them to get up (do not trample them)
5. Trigger the devour mechanic again by biting them 2 more times
6. Repeat the process

Explanation

The number of bites it takes to kill a human with the devour mechanic resets after dropping them. The default number of hits it takes to kill a human for every dinosaur with the devour mechanic seems to be is 3 to 4, regardless of damage output. If you bite a human 2 times, then drop them. This forces you to bite them 3 to 4 more times in order to actually kill them, even if they are on 1 hp.
