About This Puzzle
This is the start of a new puzzle series primarily built around the Sudoku variant Chaos Construction. In the following puzzles, many different variant combinations will be experimented on with chaos, at a varying difficulty level.
RULES
-
Chaos Construction:
Divide the grid into 9 regions of 9 orthogonally connected cells.
Place the digits 1–9 in every row, column, and region once each.
-
Gold Cells:
A gold cell contains its position within its row, column, or region
(reading order). No two regions have the same number of gold cells. All possible gold cells are given.
-
Circles:
A circled digit equals the number of non-gold cells in its region.
Each region has exactly one circled cell.
-
Kropki:
Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 1:2 ratio.
Lösungscode: Digits of the region that contains a circled 5, in normal reading order.

Not sure what I'm missing, but I've tried for an hour and can't break in.

The rules made me think this would not solve, but suprisingly it solved without being too difficult. Awesome puzzle!

Did some extra black dots get added since I had a first look at this puzzle? If so, it surely made for an easier start, still leaving the further solve very challenging and rewarding. Thanks for this beauty.
.proxz14's response: If you saw it when it was first published, yes that is the case. The dots were added a few days ago, but I accidentally uploaded the wrong version here at first.
