Titan

• Methane melts at -296 °F and boils at -258 °F. The sea is a “methane sea.”
  
• An overhead announcement in the Archology makes it clear that Humanity, not the Traveler, did work to terraform Titan.
  
• Though there are some air locks on the rig, there’s also a lot of open air doorways.
  
• There is an icy “hail” near the bridge to the Archology, but none of the drizzle is sticking or building up on structures.

Conclusion: Though the methane ocean is liquid, it seems likely that temperatures are not nearly so low as -258 °F. At least not on the rigs or in the New Pacific Archology. Perhaps the rigs themselves are heated and maintain a nearby warmed, breathable atmosphere? No Space Magic, but perhaps good ole Golden Age ingenuity?

How do you know it's not water, replaced either by us or by the traveler?

Well, it wasn’t the Traveler, because an overhead announcement in the Archology makes it clear that Humanity, not the Traveler, did work to terraform Titan.

I always felt like different gravity would give each location its own mechanical feel.

Agreed. Maybe it doesn’t need huge differences (double jumps would quickly get insane!) but a noticeable difference here and there would be nice.
