Playing in Dark Matter mode, a counter appears which seems to count how many Dark Matter asteroids (as a planet) or planets (as a star) I have absorbed. This also seems to determine the coloring, since the blue star in the screenshot only has a count of 11 (while it is still surrounded by that Dark Matter "field" since I created it from a Dark Matter planet):

But what is the actual importance of this? Has this for example any influence on the creation of a Black Hole when colliding with usual matter?
