Sandlands are the most popular sources of silicon. A 'mountain' planet 
usually does not provide more than 'average' silicon, but sandlands often hit 
the 'plenty' threshold. These planets also maintain chemistry plants while 
furnishing their own coal and oil. The sandland is the ultimate provider to 
shipbuilding materials, offering everything but aluminum. Be careful, 
however, to set your 'gold' on import and establish an organic world (Jungle 
or Wetland) to export gold.
