@MrQubo Your code is almost correct. Check the amount of 1s in c13/15.

Great puzzle, thanks!

Awesome puzzle! Agreed with Niverio, great ruleset combination with a very fun and flowing solve path.

Testing this puzzle for KNT was a pleasure, the two rulesets work really well together. A nice variety of connectivity and shading logic!
