Dotted & Caged Pentominoes
(Published on 10. June 2021, 07:23 by thoughtbyte)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Additionally:
1. The grid must be fully tiled into 16 pentominoes and 1 monomino. Each of the 12 pentominoes must appear at least once, rotated or reflected as necessary, but never sharing an edge with another of its own type. Digits cannot repeat inside a pentomino. Cells that share a cage, a white dot, or a black dot belong to the same pentomino. The single-cell cage is the monomino.
2. White dots join cells with consecutive digits; black dots join cells with a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.
3. On the thermometers, digits must increase from the bulb end.

Brilliant puzzle, although I have no clue how this is a 2 star estimate, I took more than an hour on this one...
Very neatly constructed!
