Normal irregular sudoku rules apply. (Every row, column and 9-cell region must contain the digits 1-9 once each)
The regions must be determined by the solver. All regions consist of 9 orthogonally connected cells.
Each line contains a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
Some of the lines have swallowed black kropki dots. These dots must be slid along the line and placed on a border between two adjacent cells (either orthogonal or diagonally). Two dots may not share the same position. Two successive cells on a line that have a dot between them have a 2:1 ratio and are in different regions of the grid. Two successive cells on a line that do not have a dot between them DO NOT have a 2:1 ratio and are in the same region of the grid.
I am challenging myself to create some puzzles in the style of my puzzle game Can of Wormholes to celebrate its upcoming release on Steam!
Example: (uses digits 1-6 instead of 1-9)

Corrected an ambiguity in the example puzzle (thanks @Dandelo!).
Added links to play example puzzle online.

I think the example has multiple solutions, regarding the regions.
