I still don't quite understand the ruleset. wouldn't the 3 pink cells in boxes 7 & 8 all be 3 since they all see the same 3 cells, including themselves?
@PuzzleDoubt The sole purpose of the pink cells is to find 4 separate paths that are continuous and consecutive. Multiple cells MAY have the same pink count, but only one will lead to the continuous path on that galaxy arm. In your example, find where the 1, 2 and 4 must be to determine which cell gets the 3. Thanks for playing. -Will Power
That helped! Thanks for the clarification!

The ruleset is a bit convoluted but I found the idea very original - deserves more solvers and ratings!
@montikulum Thanks so much for digging into some of my past puzzles. If you are looking for outside the box thinking, you may want to try "The Great Escape", then "The Great Escape II', "County Fair", "Anti Kropki Dot Sudoku", and "Animal Farm". For ones people tended to like, due to familiarity with the ruleset, try any of mine with the word "Stickman" in the title. Have a great day. -Will Power

The cages are to show the numbers outside the center box that were given at the start. The original rule set said to ignore these in the beginning of the puzzle, but may have confused some people. In the new rule set, I still wanted to set them apart because it might not be the goal of the galaxy arms to try to include them.

Thanks to Dandelo for a clearer rule set and German translation.

To henrypijames: See that the 9 in the center of the grid sees all 9 pinks around it, including itself. There is only one cell in the center box that sees exactly 8 pink cells out of 9 possible. That is the 8. One chess king's move away from the 8 in the center box, there is only one cell that sees 7 pink cells. Label that 7. Continue moving 1 king's move and reducing the number by 1. The arm that begins with the 8 is the simplest one.

To all: If you ever played Minesweeper on your computer, the numbers that appear when you select a cell tell you how many mines are within a king's move of that cell. In this game, I have shown you all the mines in pink, and I use the same concept to reveal the sudoku numbers on the grid. Think of this as Minesweeper, in reverse.
