Something a little different from my usual puzzles. Instead of choosing a theme for the constraints being used, I had a logical structure in mind and used whatever constraints felt natural for setting it up, ultimately ending up with a mixture of several existing constraints.
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply. Normal rules for antidiagonal, renban, modular lines, thermometers, killer cages, and kropki pairs (see below).
- Digits may not repeat on the marked diagonal.
- Digits on a purple line form a set of nonrepeating consecutive digits, which may be in any order.
- Any three consecutive cells on an orange line must all have different remainders modulo 3.
- Digits on a thermometer line increase from the bulb end.
- Digits in a cage sum to the indicated total.
- Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
Solution code: Column 6

super neat, stretches the definition of "local deduction" to its absolute extremes
