icons = {
{
icon = "some file name",
icon_size = 64,
tint = {r = 0.2,g= 0.8,b=0.2,a=1}
},
{
icon ="some file name",
icon_size = 64,
scale = 0.5, ------------this 0.5 behave the same as 1, according to my eyesight.
},
} ,

I have to assign it to 0.3 to actually make it a little bit smaller than 1. But the relationship looks what 0.3 to 0.5.

It does, but has different behavior, than in sprite definitions.
If you don't specify it, scale will be inferred based on icon_size. For icon_size = 64, the inferred scale would be 0.5 (because internally the icons are expected to be 32x32px), so setting scale = 0.5 does nothing different.

Oh, interesting. I didn't test what 1 does for me in that field. So, plz add this detail into the docs. By the way, is it possible to but the sprites not from 0,0? If I prepare a circle and cut it into 4 parts, and assemble them with squares, emmm, Shapez.io with Factorio api. Good.
