identified this mod as the cause of crashes when starting up

To add to this - its specifically the new version of angel's mods that is causing the crash

Same here, crashes Factorio on launch every time it's enabled

Maybe it's because Angel's graphics are only a single prop, and changed the name of the png file.
For example, in Angel's smelting, Blast furnace base was named just blast-furnace.png, now it's named blast-furnace-base.png.
I tried changing the code and it said that the scale of the .png file is bigger than it can handle.
Idk if someone would understand my explanation if you need to clarify something just type it here.

Edit: If you get Artisanal reskins for Angels then maybe the crash could stop.

Also, I was very happy to see that, although Factorio says both need to be disabled upon start up, if you only re-apply angelsmelting, the error disappears and functionality of the smelting mod is preserved.

Can confirm that the fix Apollo11cz suggested fixes the crash issue, tho its taking me some time to get use to the new textures and icons :D
