Vacuum has a temperature

The fact that vacuum has a temperature at all leads to certain gameplay implications all around that may not be what are intended.

If it is not possible to give vacuum a null temperature in the code, giving it a negative temperature in Kelvin should be enough of a sentinel value to alert things as to it's special status of not being a valid temperature for thermodynamics.

Steps to Reproduce

Inspection.

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.

Specifically anything regarding temperature to be cold considers vacuum to be cold incorrectly. Vacuum isn't anything at all. Hot things stay hot in a vacuum and cold things stay cold in a vacuum as heat cannot transfer without the ability to radiate said heat.

Food recently was updated and this may have been one oversight because of this.

In the next next hotfix (didn't make it for today's patch) foods will use exclusively their internal temperature when in a vacuum. Thanks for the report!

Do you mean that food will not have "Deep freeze" buff while in vacuum?

No, what they mean is that if you keep your food in a vacuum, you will have to freeze it first.

We've already come up with several solutions to this problem in Discord that are not too difficult. Consider making a freezer box full of nearly condensed chlorine gas that you run the food in until it's around -40C before you dump it into your vacuum. This way you kill the germs too.
