Just found a great tool to help surveying : ExTool - https://elite.laulhere.com/ExTool
Geological Codex Key

Sadly no. I had a bug where 7 of the POIs were inside the planet and unreachable (figured out later I could probably have flown away and back to reset them), so I got a friend to double check one close to the bubble for the third type. So this is really an amalgamation of two different planets.
The one my friend checked was this one:
https://www.edsm.net/en/system/bodies/id/14288/name/Guttun/details/idB/13767514/nameB/Guttun+A+5
203k, but he found a water geyser at POI 1 so didn't need to check further.
This is a great source! I spent a few hours yesterday transfering daya. We sure have a great list going now. Only a few holes left!
Tons of new info folks!
Thanks to everyone that has helped with this.
I think we can eliminate the original format and just keep the spreadsheet.
Anyone disagree?

Personally I find the forum post very useful as it's more accessible.
All I needed to hear. Original list has now been updated.
Super duper! Was just about to post a thread asking abut this type of thing....

Thanks! info added.
Hail, fellow explorers!
Thanks, OP, for posting this thread. I've recently started exploring the galaxy, beyond the bubble, & I'm hooked!! I started asking the same questions about where I can find different geological & biological structures & what defines where you can find them, so I began my own spreadsheet to keep track. I'm currently checking my EDSM flight logs & codex entries with galactic map info, to gather data & will update, once I have a reasonable amount. Currently, I'm recording the following, for all finds in a region (categories taken directly from information in the Codex):
Geological - Star Class, Body Type, Volcanism, Location in system, Any system requirements
Biological - Star Class, Nebula, Body Type, Volcanism, Temp, Location in system, Any system requirements, Must exclude
I've not been checking planet temperature, for the most part, as data in the codex only associates temperature with Brain Trees, but agree it's potentially useful to help identify other structures, so will take note of that from now on. Likewise, have assumed that number of sites found was related to size of body & age of parent star (the younger a star, the more volcanic activity), so didn't think to record it, but shall also start doing so.
I noticed that the in-game Codex does display some information on requirements for certain structures, but it seems to be a bit patchy. As above, only Brain Trees seem to display a temperature range, so does that mean anything not showing a temperature range can be found in any temperature? Also, does anyone know if the information in the Codex (i.e. star class, nebula type, temp etc.) is added by FDev, or only updated with player discoveries for that region of space? This would make a big difference in what information from the Codex we can determine as absolute, rather than educated speculation.
Anyhow, keep up the good work CMDRs, fly safe & have fun! o7

Hi all
Searching for Carbon Dioxide Gas Vent. I have found the Carbon Dioxide Ice Geysers. Thought it should be on the same type of planet.
What bothers me: When I found a planet with 16 signal sources. I jump just into half of the signals like from 1 - 8 or 16 - 9 to not waste all the time. Found always the same kind of vulcanism. Nothing else.
Is it true, that I can't find two or more types of vulcanism on the same planet or even the same signal?

I've found two or more types of something on the same planet, but that was a while ago when I was still bothering with them.
Yup. That may have changed now.
I wonder if they have added new things to find and made it just a single type per planet.
Can anyone confirm we still have multiples per planet?

I wonder, what shall I do here: I am next to a planet with 48 signals and if I have to search them all.
That's a lot of work, but maybe using a spreadsheet and collecting various contributions from fellow explorers could lead to something. I'm at the beginning of a new trip and I'd be happy to contribute regularly. Any volunteer ? Or maybe this project already exists and we could join the initiative ?
The question is to all the explorers: Do they care about that signals or just ignore them?
Only go for the signals so long as they can possibly yield different results based on what you've scanned so far. Anything more is usually just a waste of time. The only time to go for ALL of the signals is if you are doing research into the percentage of certain POI types based on the different variables of the system and/or body in which the signals reside.
Yes, multiple types per planet/moon confirmed. As far as I know, it never stopped being true so long as the right conditions are met for multiple types to exist.
This has been very valuable. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

just to chime in and add a ditto to this. I was sent here thanks to Sapyx on the forum so thanks for that as well.
