My second puzzle. A somewhat harder but hopefully still approachable follow on to Diagonal Dots. Thanks to juggler and gdc for initial testing and the CtC Discord for additional checking.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Diagonal Kropki Dots: Every pair of digits diagonally connected by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio. Every pair of digits diagonally connected by a white dot must be consecutive. Every pair of digits diagonally connected by an orange dot have a difference of at least 4. Not all possible dots are necessarily given.

Found this to be a very cool puzzle. That's a 50 DKP plus!

There was some cool geometry for the break-in, and the diagonal dot constraint was used really well throughout the solve, thanks!

An elegant setting with a fun solve, I enjoyed that :)
(Also I didn't think I used the orange dot in box 8 there)

Agreed. These days I'm trying out puzzles from setters I haven't heard of before, to encourage them and to discover some surprising gems. This is definitely a gem.

What an absolute joy to solve. You've got a bright future if this is only your second puzzle.
