I mean, biologically the mat is going to have a hell of a time influencing alien life.

I'd wager it's totally impossible unless the biology of the alien is closely related or miraculously similar.  To date when a new mat is introduced to a planet it quickly supplants the local life, utterly devastating the native ecosystem if not eradicating it.  After this imported flora and fauna take up on the new mat, effectively meaning my primary species is a terraforming agent. 


Now I feel the need to clarify something, only my 'critters' are intelligent, that is only one species that lives on the mat has evolved to use the mat symbiotically to gain an edge in smarts.  The other life forms living on my planets and off the mats are not symbiotically influenced, but rather parasitically influenced.  While this parasitic influence is largely harmless, it does instill in animal life an instinctual need to protect the mat.
