1 character picks up 3 stinging nettles and makes a bundle. drops bundle to ground. other character comes over and picks up bundle from ground. gets discovery points for finding stinging nettle from bundle.

technically this is a longstanding “bug”: the same thing has always happened when you collect milk with a barrel, or when seeds are auto-added to a carried bucket, or when you Pluck a bird with a full inventory while using a stockpile. Taking any item collected from its native source without having entered a player’s inventory (or inventory-compatible container, in the case of liquids) can give discos to players who lack them.

The stack counts as a “container” and since the second item always creates and enters a stack automatically, all items autostacked do not enter your inventory and therefore do not lose the “undiscovered” property, or gain the “discovered” property, however it might work.

I don’t really see the big deal, though. Especially since trying to fix this might break discoveries of objects whose “native source” is actually a player-built container, such as silkmoth stages and raw glass.
