Normal sudoku rules apply.
Anti-consecutive constraint: Orthogonally connected cells (dominos) do not contain consecutive digits.
Kropki Diagonals: All diagonal pairs of cells that contain consecutive cells are marked with a small or large white dot in the intersection of four cells.
Small white dots indicate that only one of the diagonal pairs contains consecutive digits.
Large white dots indicate that two (both) diagonal pairs contain consecutive digits.
Large white dots also are quad circles. Digits inside the large dot must appear at least once in the four surrounding cells.
Negative constraint applies: All small and large dots are given. (Diagonal pairs without any dot do not contain consecutive digits.)
Solution code: Row 3

Thanks a lot for this fun little puzzle! I enjoyed it a lot (as well as the other one with the same rules). My take on this ruleset will appear tomorrow as SVS #443.
Although I will only use the diagonal constraint. (All episodes of SVS will only use a single constraint.) I found the orthogonal non-consecutive rule here too much. After filling in about 1/3 of the grid I could continue while only using the very powerful othogonal non consecutive constraint. Still I had fun with it! :)

I've always wanted to see diagonal kropki. This is a good use of the constraint. Thank you

That was a bit of a mind-bender! Thank goodness for that anti-consecutive rule; it made cleaning up towards the end a lot quicker.

What a smooth, fun flow! New ruleset to me, but after a mental adjustment it all fell into place. Thank you for this joyful beauty!

At first, a bit unsure. After getting used to the rules, it's getting fun! Tq!
