Loved this. As for 99jau99's comment, one of my thermo variants uses this (00085I). And yes, the thermos get very restricted indeed :)

Really weird and interesting that how much I could restrict some of the thermos :o
--This combination surprised me also with how quickly things get restricted. Thank you for the solve and the comment.

Wow! It was so surprising that the most limited thermo is not the longest one but the ones of length 5. I really loved it how two rules interact with each other and lead to some counterintuitive logic bits.
Awesome puzzle!
-The interplay of the thermos was indeed very interesting to explore and there is more exploration available with this combination. Thank you for the solve and comment.
