Rules:

Enlightningment by Skeptical Mario

Sudoku - Place digits from 1-9 in each cell without repeating in a row, column, or region.

Chaos construction - The regions are nine groups of nine orthogonally-connected cells which do not overlap and whose positions must be deduced.

There are three types of clues in the grid: zipper line, German whisper line, and ratio Kropki; see below for rules. For two of these clue types, each clue resides entirely in the same region (never crosses a region border). For the third type, adjacent cells on the clue are in different regions (always crosses a region border). A line following this rule can have multiple cells in the same region as long as each cell on the line is in a different region from its neighbours.

Ratio kropki - Black dots separate digits where one digit is double the other. Not all dots are given.
German whispers - Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5.
Zipper line - Digits an equal distance from the center of a red zipper line sum to the digit in the center of the line.

Too hard for me. Worked one hour on narrowing things down. Had one region and some digits. But still several constellations on several regions remained possible. 5* to me i can surely tell so far. I will pick it up later...

Lots of interactions between the clues to get the break in. Very tight solve path and exciting till the last digit. Thanks
