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

Is this a bug report? If so, can you tell me where you're seeing this? Or are you asking for what those numbers are supposed to translate into?

Translation. I noticed in a game where it said 1000m in colos for ogranics. I'm assuming that is 100,000?

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.

That's code I haven't looked at for ages. I'll have a look. Of course, unless there's a bad bug there, it's not a good idea to change any of that even if it is really confusing. Don't want to break anything unnecessarily.

I think we can all manage without breaking anything!

It's been that way as long as I can remember and it looks like it is by design. If you display a planet from the planet prompt, the heading for colonists specifically says (1000s).

Same recollection here. I remember it struck me as odd more than once.

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.
