Beautiful coloring logic, hadn't seen that before done so well without anti-knight constraint, and beautiful disambiguation with the kropkis and killers, too. Great puzzle.
Solves better in CTC though, I ported it over there with a bookmarklet tool, maybe someone who knows how to convert them for everyone can post a permanent link?

Response from Eric: Pibonacci, thanks for the kudos. Yes, I'm sure it would work better on CTC. Congratulations on the solve!

Just as much fun as it's octagonal predecessor, if not more so!

Colouring was fun, then I struggled with the equations until the kropki helped disambiguate. I do enjoy these symmetric grids.
