Mozzarella
(Published on 9. December 2022, 17:18 by Perladel)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Ratio: a black dot indicates a 1:2 ratio between the digits (no negative constraint).
Toroidal Renban Lines: purple lines must contain a set of consecutive non-repeating digits. Lines that have endpoints on the edges of the grids might wrap around ORTHOGONALLY and continue on the other side (through the endpoints).
Solver must determine the lines that wrap around or not.
A coarse 6x6 example is available below the puzzle image.
Even though I don't know the solvers' familiarity with the ruleset, I've still decided to start with 2 stars of difficulty, but I would understand any difficulty increase.

Very fun variant ! Can't quite get why it's called mozzarella though... The toroïdal property would rather make me think of a donut
-- It just refers to some private routine: whenever we order pizzas, my sister asks for extra mozzarella and that mozzarella never "respects its borders" and we always find it on other family members' pizzas or pizza boxes. And in this puzzle the renban lines do the same thing, by "overflowing" outside the grid. Thanks for solving the puzzle anyway :D

Such a fun puzzle. Those wrap arounds really keep you on your toes all the time, but also provide really nice clues for the solve. 5/5 on fun for sure.
-- Thank you. Glad you enjoyed! :D

Added ORTHOGONALLY to make it clearer

Can the toroid only connect “orthogonally” or can it connect “diagonally” too? I.e. could r1c7 connect to r9c6?
-- That's a good point. I definitely can specify it, thanks.
