I wasn't very happy with a recent puzzle I set under this same name so I have reworked it and created a sort of version 2 that I am much more happy with. The previous version of this puzzle used arrows clues that made the grid look too busy, and some of the logic felt clunky. This puzzle is a much better successor to a similar puzzle I made, #entropy. I hope you enjoy!
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Modular Lines: Every set of 3 adjacent digits on a teal line must contain a digit from each of the mod3 subsets of {1,4,7}, {2,5,8}, and {3,6,9}.
Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive.
Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
Digits separated by a ‘V’ must sum to 5.
Digits separated by an ‘X’ must sum to 10.
Additionally, digits separated by any of the above symbols (kropki dots, X’s and V’s) are from a different mod3 set.
Play on SudokuPad!
Solution code: Row 8 from left to right (9 digits).

Nice new ruleset for me. I find this a 1.5 star due to the breakout at the start. Once you passed it, it's more like a 1 star puzzle.
