==== RULES ====
Normal Sudoku rules apply : fill the grid with digits 1 to 9 appearing each exactly once in every row, column and 3x3 box.
Thermometers : Digits strictly increase from the bulb to the tip of a thermometer. The position of the tips must be determined.
Kropki dots : Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits. Cells separated by a black dot contain digits with a ratio of 1:2. Not all dots are given.
==== NOTE ====
I got inspiration for the layout and ruleset from watching Simon Anthony, from the Cracking the Cryptic Youtube channel, stream his take on the puzzle-based video game called The Witness. Thanks to XeonRisq, Stefan and Zombie Hunter for early testing !
Solution code: Digits from column 5 (top to bottom), then from row 9 (left to right). No space, 18 digits in total.

As soon as he started The Witness I also thought to make a Witness-themed sudoku. Glad this is out there. Thanks
