Same here.
Unfortunately it seems that ALL Malachite interactions have reversed reputation effects.
Whenever you do a quest that should improve your relations with them, it does the opposite.
I used a console command to turn them green, but all of their voice lines remain angry.

This is so bad GSC isn't fixing any of such bugs. Zalissya rescue quest is still bugged as hell despite them claiming to fix it

This this happen after defending them from Monolith attack? Have you sided with Spark rather than Ward before?

If your answers are positive to both, but especially 2nd question, this is story-driven change as the factions, even if they are very loosely defined, are affiliated with each other in the background. Scientist are affiliated with Ward and if you are at hostile terms with the Ward, Scientists from STC Malachite will also lose a lot of reputation with you.

I managed to defend Zalissya and prevent it from reverting to "destroyed", but it requires enabling the console, as there are multiple parts where the quest can get stuck for you (the Monolith trapped indoors, and the final objective not being marked as complete, both of which I got unstuck with console commands).

Ah okays then that possibly makes sense. I did side with Spark and was hostile with Ward.

Yeah same. Had to complete the quest through console. It was a glitchy as hell.
maybe because we joined Sparks? This happened on both my playthrough and I joined Sparks both time.

I had this issue on my last playthrough too, Not sure yet what mission caused malachite base to be Red status but I am almost back to that point agan on current playthrough to see if the 1.1 patch has fixed it
