Rules:
Renban and Ratio: Cells on a purple line contain a set of consecutive, non-repeating numbers. Cells joined by a black dot have numbers in a 1:2 ratio.
Fillomino: Divide the grid into polyominoes so that no two polyominoes of the same size share an edge. Each cell contains a number equal to the size of its polyomino.
Norinori: Shade some dominoes of cells (i.e. pairs of orthogonally connected cells) so that every fillomino region contains exactly two shaded cells. Shaded dominoes may not touch orthogonally. (Note: a domino can cross a region border.)
Solve:
Solution code: Numbers in the shaded cells in Rows 3 and 4 (left to right)

Good one, had to stretch the old grey matter and make my head hurt at times.

Really nice puzzle ! Not sure what happened but I had more trouble solving this one than some of your 5 stars puzzle.

Fascinating puzzle!

Great puzzle! The norinori part was a really interesting twist :)

Great puzzle! A bit harder than expected but I blame that on my lack of experience with the ruleset and it was still very enjoyable. Thank you!

@henrypijames in the case of the rules of this puzzle, they are interchangeable. But (in contrast to what a lot of people seem to say and write around here), a region in a fillomino puzzle is not a "fillomino", it is just a polyomino.

I'm still confused. The second rule talks about "polyominoes", but the third rule talks about "fillominoes". Are they interchangeable? If so, why not use consistent terminology?

Smooth and no redundant hint, very nice, thank you for making this. For me, I need an explanation on dominoes. I hadn't played this kind of puzzle before and did not know exactly what it is at first.

Thanks! Just updated the rules to make that clearer.

A fantastic combination of these different puzzle types/variants!
Edit: Also this is the first time my rating made a puzzle official on the portal! ;oo

Corrected tag

It's a bit hard, although it's only 3 stars, but there are one or two small difficulties that took me a little time to sort out my thoughts. However, the logic and route of the whole process are very clear, great puzzle!

虽然开局很难除了2之外不好想,但是以右下角突破一下子就很顺畅了,好玩nya!

The ruleset talks about regions without defining what constitutes a region. Also, is this puzzle a sudoku (because it's tagged as one)?
———-
Thanks for pointing out the sudoku tag, I have removed it. The regions are the polyominoes. I can update that in the rules later. -Math Pesto

Fun and smooth, thanks! Nice to another Fillomino and Norinori hybrid in the portal :-)

This is a very fun puzzle! Definitely requires some thought, but nothing too intimidating.
Thank you, mathpesto! ^_^
