Granite is the best bang for buck if you have it in your seed - if not any other stone will work as well.
I know, and I plan on replacing them at some point but at the moment I cant due to lack of resources. Its on my list though.

Second (and i may be wrong here as your images are quite zoomed out) your fridge isn't very efficient - doors and walls conduct heat and so will force the cooling units to work harder - the most efficient design makes use of double thick walls with an air lock door (door clear space door). Having an inefficient fridge isn't a big deal when things are going well but a heat wave in summer will overwhelm you quickly.
Thanks for that tip! I wondered why the larger fridge had a hard time so I will fix that now.

Lastly your trap entrance - while it looks pretty good its generally a good idea to lay traps in a chequerboard pattern - this allows colonists to pass the traps without walking over them thus preventing accidents.
There is a door next to the trap that friendlies use, so only animals and enemies use the trap entrance.
