GAS Guzzler (Sudoku)
(Published on 23. October 2021, 15:55 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along the palindrome lines must read the same forward and backwards. Digits on a thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb end. Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the large circle at its end. Digits in a cage must sum to the little number in the upper left, and may not repeat in the cage. GAS = Genuinely Approachable Sudoku = 1 star. :-) As always, comments welcome!
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.

I think this was more of a 1.5-2 star, personally, but your puzzles have a great flow and are teaching me a lot about how to deduce the next steps in these variants!
You're quickly becoming one of my favourite setters -- thank you for your contributions to the puzzle community! :)
** What a lovely thing to say! I truly appreciate it!

Als Anfänger besteht bei so vielen Linien die Schwierigkeit darin erst mal den richtigen Ansatz zu finden. Danach kommt der genüssliche Teil in dem sich alles in wundersamer Weise zusammenfügt. Tolles Puzzle! Besten Dank PDN
So ein schöner Kommentar. Ich danke dir sehr!

This is one of my favourite puzzles. I'd put it at 2 stars, personally, because it does require some know-how. An expert would breeze through it, I imagine, but as a beginner I felt somewhat put to the test and it made for a very satisfying solve. Thanks so much PDN!
Reply from PDN: Thanks so much!!

Loved it. The communication at the bottom took me a while to work out but it was great logic.
Reply from PDN: Super - thanks for the solve! :-)
