1000m is 1 million? 80m is 800,000?

I would guess typo, 100M is max, so it probably should have been 100K.... what server / game?

Yeah, has to be a typo. I emailed the Sysop all is fixxed! I was just curious why not just have 500k instead of 500 million? Would this be a feature request?

I think it's been that way since the door version. 1 hold of colos is supposed to represent 1,000 people. Packed like sardines in cryo-stasis, no doubt.

Ok, I see what you guys are talking about now. Yeah, that's 1000s, as in "thousands". Each unit is 1000 colonists, as Mongoose said.
