Rules:
Deconstructed Sudoku: There are nine, non-overlapping 3x3 boxes in the grid, the locations of which must be deduced by the solver. Each box contains the digits 1–9 once each. Among these sudoku cells, digits cannot repeat in the grid’s rows nor columns.
Fillomino: Divide the remaining cells in the grid into polyominoes so that no two polyominoes of the same size share an edge. Each fillomino cell contains a number equal to the size of its polyomino.
Cages and Dots: Numbers in a cage may not repeat and sum to the total, if given. Cells joined by a blue dot sum to a multiple of 5. Not all dots are necessarily given, and cells joined by a dot can contain the same number.
Solve:
Solution code: Numbers in Column 2 (top to bottom, no spaces)

What a construction, so intricately worked out. Over and over it is more constrained than one imagines which I took as pointers that I was on the right lines.

Wow wow wow !
Got stuck in the bottom right a little bit because I did not realize a very simple fact in that 25 cage...
This really motivates me to make more deconstruction/fillo puzzles too :)

This puzzle is so neat, I'm happy I got to solve it twice. Once for the testing version, and second for the final one. Many thanks!

Although it is a very large puzzle, it is not difficult and the process is very smooth. Very nice!
