I made this puzzle following Scojo's prompt to use lot clues in a chaos construction puzzle.
- Divide the grid into nine orthogonally connected regions and place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column and region.
-
Region Lots:
- A digit on a diamond counts the number of cells in the (up to) 3x3 area centered at the cell that are in its own region, including itself.
- Also, a digit on a diamond indicates how many times that digit appears on diamonds.
- Cells joined by a white dot have consecutive digits and belong to the same region.
- Cells joined by a green dot have digits with a difference of at least 5.

Thank you very much for creating and sharing this wonderful CC-puzzle. Maybe it’s a 3*-puzzle, but for me the Sudoku part towards the end got quite tricky.

Another great CC puzzle, we've been having lots of good ones lately! Depending on familiarity with CC, it might still be 3.5-4 stars, but I found it quite smooth and interesting throughout the solve.

For the diamond clues: when counting orthogonally or diagonally adjacent cells in its own region, you specify "up to 9" in a parenthetical. But the way I would normally define "adjacency", there are only 8 such cells.
Are these digits meant to count themselves? Or is the parenthetical unintentionally claiming an excessively high bound.
***
it does include itself, i'll add a clarification
