Very fun puzzle. The hardest logic was at the end for me. I forgot about the "Two regions of the same size may not share an edge" rule, but still solved it, though I imagine this made things quite a bit harder than necessary.

Good fun. Very enjoyable logic that was not too terribly difficult. Hardest part for me was probably trying to keep track of all the 3x3 regions amid the borders of all the fillominoes. Probably could have figured a way around that, but oh well

Very enjoyable puzzle ! I can see how it must have caused trouble to find a valid grid with a satisfying solution path. Thanks :)

The first half or so were super easy (1 star maybe), then suddenly it got hard (4 star). Only then did I remember I'd forgotten the fillominoes-never-touch rule, but that turned out not to be the key either (ended up only using it once perhaps). Definitely a very unusual difficulty curve.

SudokuPad link for the example puzzle doesn't work (any more?).

Thanks for that. Interestingly, I tried creating a new one using the SudokuPad Penpa+ importer, but got the same error. It worked before. I replaced it with a version I created in SudokuMaker, so no dashed region borders, but at least it works. :)

Fabulous! Having solved (most) of the first version of this puzzle, I'm so glad you took your time to polish this up. The first version was very good, this version was as close to perfection as you could get.

Fine tuning this really paid off - plenty to think about, but solves beautifully.
