=== icon ===
'''Type''': [[Types/FileName]]
 
The path to the icon.
 
=== icon_size ===
'''Type''': [[Types/SpriteSizeType]]
 
Mandatory if <code>icon_size</code> is not specified outside of <code>icons</code>. The size of the square icon, in pixels, e.g. 32 for a 32px by 32px icon.
 
== Optional properties ==
=== tint ===
'''Type''': [[Types/Color]]
 
'''Default''': <nowiki>{r=1, g=1, b=1, a=1} (white)</nowiki>
 
Tint of the icon.
 
=== shift ===
'''Type''': [[Types/vector]]
 
'''Default''': {0, 0}
 
Used to offset the icon "layer" from the overall icon.<br>
The shift is applied from the center (so negative shifts are left and up, respectively). Shift uses the unit "pixels after scaling", see [[#Notes]].
 
=== scale ===
'''Type''': [[Types/double]]
 
'''Default for items/recipes''': (32/icon_size)
 
'''Default for technologies''': (256/icon_size)
 
When set, specifies the scale of the icon on the GUI scale.<br>
Scale 2 means that the icon will be 2 times bigger on screen (and more pixelated).
 
=== icon_mipmaps ===
'''Type''': [[Types/uint8]]
 
'''Default''': 0
 
Icons of reduced size will be used at decreased scale. 0 or 1 mipmaps is a single image. The file must contain 1/2 size images with a geometric-ratio, for each mipmap level. Each next level is aligned to the upper-left corner. Example sequence: 128x128@(0,0), 64x64@(128,0), 32x32@(196,0) is 3 mipmaps.<br>See also [https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-291 Factorio Friday Facts #291] about the visual effects of icon mipmaps.
 
== Notes ==
 
* Only the first icon layer will display a shadow.
* The final combination of icons will always be resized in GUI based on the first icon layer's size, but won't be resized when displayed on machines in alt-mode.
: (example: recipe first icon layer is size 128, scale 1, the icon group will be displayed at resolution /4 to fit the 32px GUI boxes, but will be displayed 4 times as large on buildings)
* Shift values are based on final size (icon_size * scale) of the first icon.
 
== Examples ==
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">{
  icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/heavy-oil.png",
  icon_size = 64,
  scale = 0.5,
  shift = {4, -8}
}</syntaxhighlight>
