Conifers
This puzzle was inspired by natclass setting a puzzle with a reindeer, where the antlers were also branching thermos.
Rules:
- Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1
through 9 appear in every row, column, and
box.
- Thermometers: Digits on Thermos are strictly increasing from bulb to tip.
- Modular lines: Any set of three adjacent digits along a modular line (usually teal in colour) has three different remainders when divided by 3.
- Kropki pairs: Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.

I am quite new to solving, and this puzzle helped me understand the modular line restriction quite well. Great puzzle for fellow beginners, and very pretty board. 5 stars.
