This is my response to
Scojo's setting prompt from a few weeks ago, as redeemed by
gdc. The prompt was "equal split lines", but it wouldn't be a
ThePedallingPianist puzzle without me trying to be different somehow, so this was my interpretation!
Normal
sudoku rules apply.
Dynamic Fog: The grid is partially covered in fog. Entering a correct digit may clear fog somewhere in the grid, revealing more clues.
Split Krokpea Lines: Dots divide lines into segments, which always have a dot at both ends. A dot's value is considered to be the difference between the digits either side of it on the line. A line segment sums to a concatenation of the values of the dots at either end of that segment in base 10.
For example: "2•78•7" would be a valid portion of a line, as the digits either side of the dots have differences of 5 and 1 respectively, and the digits between the dots sum to 15.
N.B. If a line segment loops back to the same dot, that dot is considered to be at both ends of the segment. For example, a loop of "...32•15..." is valid as the value of the dot, which is on both ends of the segment, is 1, and the segment sums to 11.

@Laxpanther: The concatenation can happen in any order. E.g. 3/1 could be 13 twice.
@TPP: Amazing puzzle with beautiful logic!

Very fun and a novel use of split pea-ish logic! Thank you!

Loved how this one flowed, and how it almost included its own tutorial/training steps via the mist.

Wow! That was some maths. A very satisfying solve, though. Thanks a lot for sharing this.

A couple of boxes a bit hard with lots of options to test but interesting logic

Hard, lots of going though different options, but very satisfying. Thanks!
