Nowhere. The planet scan details give the major/minor volcanism modifier but alas the POIs are not in the journals anywhere so we can't show any info on them.
If FDev give us that info we will surely add it to the GUI

Thanks iain666, I thought I'd missed something.
The only way to disprove what I just said is to collect data on planet types
Let's just say there's a good reason the volcanics not found yet in most galactic regions are the 3 I listed. Landable rocky ice worlds with volcanism might actually be more rare than planets with organics outside nebulas.

It would certainly be very useful - I found a planet with 60 POI's just after the 3.3 launch but didn't consider it exceptional. Now having not seen above 50 (or others it appears) it would be good to be able to look the place up. I may be out in the black retracing my steps for some time

Well, lets give it a shot! We can put the planet type and lets also record the highest and lowest temperature window it was found in. Ill edit the op tonight
I guess im a little concerned that it might get a little jumbled looking, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it
Some more new discoveries (marked with *) and some additional info :
Metallic Magma:
(Rocky world, 351K, 0.06g) :
* Iron Magma Lava Spout
Sulphur Dioxide Gas Vent
Sulphur Dioxide Fumarole
Nitrogen Magma:
(Icy body, 93K, 0.10g) :
* Nitrogen Ice Fumarole
Nitrogen Ice Geyser
Carbon Dioxide Geysers
(Icy body, 75K, 0.15g) :
* Carbon Dioxide Ice Geyser (unless this was a typo in your OP)
Carbon Dioxide Ice Fumarole
Water Geyser
(Icy body, 56K, 0.03g) :
Water Ice Geyser
Water Ice Fumarole
Ammonia Magma
(Icy body, 86K, 0.07g)
Ammonia Ice Geyser
Ammonia Ice Fumaroie
I think it's probably important to capture the body type; I suspect the "Icy" Fumaroles and Geysers occur on Icy bodies, and the non-Icy ones on other body types.
What we -should- do is put together a spreadsheet which people can contribute to which captures all the relevant data; we did this for prospecting on DWE1 before we had the material composition of planets. So we'd capture everything possible and then some people crunched it all up and produced statistics on where you were most likely to find certain materials.

nice!
So your saying these were multiple finds on the same planet?
IE: you found a "metallic magma" signal. It was a rocky world, and on the one planet you found Iron Magma Lava Spout, Sulphur Dioxide Gas Vent and a Sulphur Dioxide Fumarole?
That's correct. The System was "Traikoa JW-E d11-146" and here's my survey log from that system (I use a plugin I made for EDDiscovery to record notes while in VR):
2019/01/26 09:22:19 A4A Geo#7 Iron Magma Lava Spout (Bottom of steep canyon)
2019/01/26 09:26:18 A4A Geo#1 Iron Magma Lava Spout (Plains)
2019/01/26 09:31:24 A4a Geo#10 Sulphur Dioxide Gas Vent (Bottom of canyon)
2019/01/26 09:36:11 A4a Geo#3 Sulphur Dioxide Fumarole (Plains)
2019/01/26 09:40:14 A4a Geo#6 Sulphur Dioxide Gas Vent (Bottom/side of steep canyon)
2019/01/26 09:52:11 A4a Geo#13 Sulphur Dioxide Fumarole (Bottom/sides of canyon)
2019/01/26 09:56:55 A4a Geoi#12 Sulphur Dioxide Gas Vent (Flat bottom of large canyon)
2019/01/26 11:33:14 A4d Geo#16 - Silicate Magma Lava Spout (Plains)
2019/01/26 11:38:09 A4d Geo#6 - Silicate Vapour Gas Vent (Bottom and sides of canyon)
2019/01/26 11:41:19 A4d Geo#20 - Silicate Vapour Fumarole (Plains near crater)
2019/01/26 11:45:26 A4d Geo#2 - Silicate Vapour Gas Vent (Canyon)
2019/01/26 11:48:53 A4d Geo#5 - Silicate Vapour Fumarole (plains)
2019/01/26 11:52:25 A4d Geo#8 - Silicate Vapour Fumarole (Canyon at bottom of crater)
If I standardise my note-taking using commas as separators I could copy-paste them directly into a spreadsheet; something to consider.
Have you thought about working with the Geology Department? https://madraptor86.wixsite.com/dw2geobiodpt
I'd like to but their input form doesn't lend itself nicely to VR and it would take too long to transcribe. I will suggest a CSV import function.
I can confirm all planets with volcanism generally have 2-3, and whether it has 2 or 3 depends on planet type and volcanism type (unless they've got a very small number of sources and you get unlucky).
Mad raptor has seen this key. I think his angle is amassing info, while my goal is to make finding a way to know what your going to find possible. Ill reach out to him to see his thoughts.
Ill play around with a spreadsheet. One of the things i want to get away from is information overload. I want it be easy to reference for hypothesis to what youll find. Thats why i didnt add temps. The patterns i see makes me think that its either cold (icy body) or not. I will continue to watch that pattern.

Oh, for sure, the aim is to make a simple table for people : if you're looking for X, search Y.
But to get that simple table you need to gather data in the background first to draw conclusions from. Maybe Icy/Rocky/Metallic is enough. Maybe temp is the key. Maybe composition is the key. Until we get enough data, we won't know.
For example, for a while I also thought local geography mattered, but after finding more data points it seems it doesn't.
I do agree to keep it simple though. It's why I'm contributing here and not in the Geology research group
Interesting list! I've added this to the "useful reference lists" section of my "Best of Forum" thread just underneath Mad Raptor's MWSOG (Milky Way Society of Organics and Geology) stuff (which you should probably take a look at).
Thanks Alec!
I was just discussing it with Madraptor last night. Looks like we have slightly different goals. Glad the galaxy is big enough for both
OK folks!
I moved everything into a google spreadsheet and put a link. Anyone should be able to edit it now. Ill leave the old format up for now.
I have added planet temp to the spreadsheet. Last night we got our first case of a sight being on 2 different planet types (Man! I thought we were onto the pattern!) I figured temp should be the next variable to be added.

A few additions last night. Looks like metal rich and high metal may have the same POIs. I have seperated them for now though.
Edit 2: Never mind, got a friend to check for me.

Thank you OP & contributors, this is a great resource!
Rocky ice world with water magma has water ice fumarole, water gas vents and water geysers.
Thanks. Added. Do you have the temp of the planet by chance?
