ZK uses a unique icon system, assigning each unit class and chassis a specific map icon. You can see these icons when you zoom out enough.
Needless to say, these icons can be rather confusing, even intimidating, to the new user. Fortunately, they're actually very simple, and this guide will explain them to you.
General
The icon system is mostly modular; an icon indicating a unit role is superimposed on an icon representing a chassis type (bot, vehicle, etc.)
Thus a raider rover is
and an artillery tank is
| Chassis icon | Type | Chassis icon | Type |

Static Defense
Static defenses use the normal icon system, though the roles don't correspond exactly. The exception is the Heavy SAM icon used by the long-ranged missile tower, the Artemis.
| Icon | Unit | Icon | Unit |

Factories
Factories use the chassis icon of the units they build superimposed on the static building icon.
| Icon | Class | Icon | Class |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Cloakbot |  |

 |
Shieldbot |  |
Tank |
 |
Jumper |  |

Usually, however, the factory's icon will be obscured by the icon of whatever it's building.
