If a critter that takes up multiple tiles has some tiles in a medium (only tested with liquid; gasses should behave similar but are harder to test) and some tiles in vacuum it reads its External Temperature (for the purposes of Freezing and Scalding) incorrectly; any tiles of the critter in vacuum will be counted as having a temperature of 0K, which is then averaged with the Kelvin temperature of the non-vacuum tiles.


Create a vacuum.
Create a layer of liquid (tested primarily with Super Coolant, but other liquids work too) at an extreme temperature (e.g. Super Coolant at -100C).
Spawn a critter so that its lower tiles are in the liquid and its upper tiles are in vacuum.
Allow game to run for a few seconds to make Freezing or Scalding debuff appear; the Current External Temperature listed in the debuff's tooltip will be inaccurate, and depending on the temperature of the liquid Scalding and Freezing may not be applied at the correct external temperatures.
A developer has marked this issue as fixed. This means that the issue has been addressed in the current development build and will likely be in the next update.
