Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I started the game with Admin Cap of 50 / sprawl of 26
Sprawl after 2 systems was 30
Admin Cap was down to 30.

Quick Question: Under Admin Cap it says my Machine Intelligence is +100% but it is red. Am I being penalized 100% for being 2 over my admin cap?

Steps to reproduce the issue.

Hi, to answer your question, the +100% is applied to your penalty. So whatever penalty you get from being over admin cap, is doubled. It should tell you beneath that line what penalties are currently applied, if any are applied.
The penalties are towards technology cost, tradition adoption cost and campaign cost

Thanks what about the admin cap dropping from 50 to 30?

Machine Empires (with Resource Consolidation) start with a Uplink node, which give 2 coordinator jobs. Those jobs produce 15 Administrative Capacity each.
In your save, the Uplink node has apparently been replaced by an Alloy Foundry. As a result, your admin cap fell from 60 to 30.
