I guess it'd make sense for the Tinkers to also harmonize the Enfi, even if as far as gameplay goes it wouldn't really change anything.

Well, you can exclude them by not including their transports in the attack force, but this does imply you have them aboard distinguishable transports.

Nothing in their concept suggests they should be able to prevent clearing land for settlement, and so the fact that they take up population capacity seems very odd. Instead, I think a more logical Viscid implementation would be as a 'planetary special' that adds a flat food upkeep cost to the planet, of whatever magnitude. This way, they aren't somehow crowding your settlers out, despite any efforts, but they are constant pests stealing food.

I think they'd make more sense as a food production penalty on the planet than as a race. The fact there's no way to reduce their numbers, they can only grow, short of metagame approaches like giving the planet away to another empire and then sterilizing it with bombs, really makes them worse than anything else. Mineral-poor planets do not eat into your metal surpluses, they just produce less and make mines not very useful. Likewise, a viscid world should be basically the negative counterpart of supergrain, the parasites making things more annoying for the colonists but not, you know, moving into the residences.
