There was a Setting Saturday prompt to do a remix of our first puzzle, and doing something like that for "Slapdash" had been on my mind for a while anyway, so I took the opportunity.
There may seem to be some extra clues here, but you know me, I like my symmetry! Besides which, the diagonals, Kropkis and thermos are the same configuration as the original, just without the given digits.
---
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply, and each full diagonal also contains the digits 1 to 9.
- Thermometers - digits along a gray thermometer must increase in value from the bulb to the tip.
- Palindromes - the string of digits along a thin gray palindrome must read the same backwards and forwards.
- Kropki dots - digits separated by a white Kropki dot are consecutive; digits separated by a black Kropki dot have a 2:1 value ratio. No negative constraint.
- Dutch Whispers - neighboring digits on an orange Dutch Whisper line must differ in value by at least 4.
- Modular lines - any set of three adjacent digits on a teal modular line must come from each of the three following sets: [1,4,7], [2,5,8], and [3,6,9].

Lösungscode: Row 5 digits, left to right

should've re-read the rules thoroughly, confused between entropy ([1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]) and modular ([1,4,7],[2,5,8],[3,6,9]) haha

Nice puzzle! I found I was able to solve the puzzle without using the Modular lines rule - not sure if this is intended or not. :)

I did not really understand the description of the Teal triangles. But I was able to resolve the puzzle without them. (Now that I've resolved it, I do understand the clue)

Very nice interaction between elements. Thank you!
>>>NSM here - I was so glad to find that the interactions were still solid even when I removed the given digits. Thanks for the solve!
