Date: 2013-10-01 04:33 am (UTC)Though they do have problems with the Earth-descended life forms. The people who launched the ship decided to incorporate odd bits of DNA in the frozen life forms in a way that allows some animals, insects and plants to 'give birth' to other species. This is so that even if the animal wasn't included in the inventory, it would eventually be produced by other animals. A cat could potentially give birth to opossums, or a cow could produce a bison calf. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well and occasionally throws out dangerous hybrids like 'Kangaroo Rex', a carnivore with nasty fangs and claws.
Other than that, the world is quite pleasant.
