Specifies the icon of an entity/item/technology/recipe etc. The properties are specified directly in the prototype, not in another sub-property.


Either <code>icons</code> and optionally <code>icon_size</code>, or both <code>icon</code> and <code>icon_size</code> have to be specified. If both <code>icons</code> and <code>icon</code> are defined, <code>icon</code> is ignored.

== Prototype properties: Option 1 ==
=== icons ===
'''Type''': [[Types/table]] of [[Types/IconData]]
 
Can't be an empty table. See [[Types/IconData#Notes]] for further notes on icon layering and its behaviour.
 
=== icon_size ===
'''Type''': [[Types/SpriteSizeType]]
 
Mandatory if <code>icon_size</code> is not specified inside all instances of [[Types/IconData]] inside <code>icons</code>. The size of the square icon, in pixels, e.g. 32 for a 32px by 32px icon.
 
=== 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.
 
== Prototype properties: Option 2 ==
=== icon ===
'''Type''': [[Types/FileName]]
 
Path to the icon file.
 
=== icon_size ===
'''Type''': [[Types/SpriteSizeType]]
 
Mandatory. The size of the square icon, in pixels, e.g. 32 for a 32px by 32px icon.
 
=== icon_mipmaps ===
'''Type''': [[Types/uint8]]
 
'''Default''': 0

== Examples ==
 
Simple icon with size:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
  icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/heavy-oil.png",
  icon_size = 32,
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Layered icon, size defined outside of layers:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">icon_size = 32,
icons = {
  {
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/empty-barrel.png"
  },
  {
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/barrel-side-mask.png",
    tint = { a = 0.75,  b = 0, g = 0, r = 0 }
  },
  {
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/barrel-hoop-top-mask.png",
    tint = { a = 0.75, b = 0.5, g = 0.5, r = 0.5 }
  }
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
Layered icon, size defined per layer:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">icons = {
  {
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/barrel-empty.png",
    icon_size = 32
  },
  {
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/barrel-empty-side-mask.png",
    icon_size = 32,
    tint = { a = 0.75, b = 0, g = 0, r = 0 }
  },
  {
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/barrel-empty-top-mask.png",
    icon_size = 32,
    tint = { a = 0.75, b = 0.5, g = 0.5, r = 0.5 }
  },
  {
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/crude-oil.png",
    icon_size = 32,
    scale = 0.5,
    shift = {7, 8 }
  }
}</syntaxhighlight>
