i would've expected some kind of "invalid call method on null instance" type of error. it's extremely rare in my experience for the game or editor to actually crash instead of just pausing execution and throwing an error.

Parent node is busy setting up children, add_child() failed. Consider using add_child.call_deferred(child) instead.
