All Roads Lead... / Alle Wege führen...

Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the large circle at its end. Neighboring digits marked with a white Kropki dot are consecutive. Neighboring digits marked with a black Kropki dot have a 2 to 1 ratio. Not all dots are given. I think this puzzle is 1.5 stars out of 5 for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments welcome. Thanks!

Started by trying complicated math... before realizing the start was much easier than I thought. Very fun puzzle!

This took me almost 90 minutes and 5 resets... on the 5th reset I realised I'd somehow read the arrow in box 8 to be a thermometer (no, I don't know how I managed to do that for only one of the arrows in a puzzle that had no thermos in it...) and hadn't actually broken the puzzle.

Amazing! 248 solves! Thank you all so much for your time and attention. And a special shout out to @bbutrosghali: for plowing thru the entire back catalog! // I've been away from setting for a while - though I still solve the CTC GAS puzzle most days. :-) I hope everyone is enjoying day to day. Be well! --PDN

I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful series of puzzles.
I came to you via CTC and have just finished your entire back catalog. For the most part, your 1- and 2-star puzzles are perfect for the 10- to 20-minute solves I prefer, and I've enjoyed them greatly over the past few weeks.
Looking forward to your next release!

After first misleading try and hard think on the start very smooth going on

This is why I love the variant sudokus. You'll always end up with new ways to use clues for the solve.
I think the 1,5 start estimate is spot on.
Nice and enjoyable puzzle, thanks!

Thank you for this beautiful, approachable puzzle, PDN777! The arrow setup leads to some thematic logic and the kropki dots seemed very well-placed.
