There could also be something of a Nivenesque situation where the original automated exploration ships were programmed to find habitable conditions for Earth life, but didn't adequately specify over what area or for how long. Thus you get colonies like Mount Lookatthat on the planet of Plateau where the rest of the planet is uninhabitable, or Wemadeit where the roboship landed during the one of the, at most, two times of year when the ground wasn't being subjected to continuous gale force winds forcing the colonists to live mostly underground.
