This puzzle uses a novel constraint I'm calling knotted ropes in combination with the standard quadruples constraint. It makes use of both sums and products with some interesting results.I hope it is a fun and challenging solve. Also, if any setters want to make use of the constraint please let me know so I can try my hand at solving one. Thanks!
Rules
Normal Sudoku rules apply.Knotted Ropes rules apply. On a rope, the product of digits in cells with a knot (shown as a small filled circle) is equal to the sum of the digits in cells without a knot. Digits can repeat on a rope if allowed by other rules.
Quadruples rules apply. Circled digits at cell intersections must be present in one of the four surrounding cells.

underrated puzzle, I liked the break-in. very difficult to see but beautiful once you figured it out.
took me 68:31 minutes to solve it completely.

Thank you. This one didn't seem to be well received, but perhaps it is just the difficulty of the break-in.
