It seems somehow I broke the Waste sorting plant but more likely the Recycling efficiency from one production cycle the plant give out approx 660 scrap metal, with that basically broke my economy and locks me out of this part of the game if I want to play normality
Additional info:
A save file where it still all good and later one from today where its broken

That looks pretty strange. Did you use a cheat engine or a mod? Do you remember anything significant that happened between the saves? Your construction parts 1 and 2 turned negative, meaning there was more of them consumed than produced from the game's perspective
I did but only once in the beginning to get out of a death spiral and that time I did not have recycling set up. Isn't that expected during constrictions and settlement donations? What might triggered this that I have connected in the lab equipment that produced a broken glass and I did not have a storage for that at the time and clogged up the whole thing for atleast 1-2 hours before a I noticed
Is it possible to check my efficiency in the save file? Would really not want to restart the game because of this if possible
Additional info it only happens with Iron scrap other scrap types are not affected
To some degree, any recovery is temporary; once global stock gets below the initial cheated quantity, it turns negative again and will cause more problems. I'm not sure where this cheating tool is distributed but touching random numbers in the game is a horrible idea, because the game has very fine-tuned tracking of quantities to track recyclables. I think there are mods out there doing this much more gracefully than this. I have added a few workarounds so that things don't get broken as much as they did in your save file. In theory that recovers your save file into a good state.
I have used Wemod cheat, I choose that because it is temporary and does not need be installed.
