Splash Damage

Much like Flinty's (quite excellent!) Dutch Mates Hit Points sudoku, this puzzle was created for Scojo's weekly setting challenge. I've never heard of the Hit Points puzzle type before Scojo pointed to this puzzle, but it turned out to be very fun to work with! Enjoy!
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Hit Points: clues outside the grid give the sum of all cells that contain a digit equal to the distance of that cell from that clue in the row or column. For example, a 3 in Row 3, Column 1 would count towards the 24 sum, and any other number would not.
- Kropki: digits separated by a white dot must have a difference of 1. Digits separated by a black dot must have a ratio of 1:2. Not all dots are given.
Solution code: Column 2 and Row 5

On the edge of my ability to solve as most 2 stars are, but the next step never felt too far away- great puzzle!
