This is a sequel to Between The Mines. Enjoy! :-)
Thanks to Miky, Calvinball and others on the CTC-discord for testing!
Normal Sudoku rules.
Ratio Pairs
The black dot joins digits in a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.
Double Arrows
The sum of the digits along a gray line is equal to the sum of the digits in the circles at either end of the line.
Yin Yang
Shade some cells such that all shaded cells are orthogonally connected and all unshaded cells are orthogonally connected. No 2x2 area may be fully shaded or fully unshaded.
Minesweeper
The circles act as "minesweeper" clues. Cells containing a circle are always unshaded, and their value is the number of shaded cells in the surrounding 3x3 area (i.e. the up to eight cells that touch the circle either orthogonally or diagonally).

Solution code: all shaded cells in rows 5 and 6

Solved my first ever yin yang puzzle! I had to restart twice bc I messed up the minesweeper rules, but once I got the rules down this was a pleasure to solve from start to finish.

It wasn't the most difficult but by god this sudoku was good enough for Jehova.
Very enjoyable

What a wonderful puzzle! That was fun! Thank you for sharing!
I got all digits in the grid - and they were all okay.
But: now the solutioncode was a highlight...

Thanks! Yeah, this kind of solution code is a good way to make sure the whole puzzle has been solved, not "just" the sudoku ;-)

Thank you for the compliment! Setting this was quite a challenge, fortunately I already had some experience from setting the prequel puzzle :-)

What a good idea of a puzzle ! The black dot put me off for a couple minutes, these things are usually disambiguating artifacts. I underestimated its importance in here. Thanks for this great puzzle :)

Nice interaction between Yin-Yang and minesweepers. Not very hard but extremely immersive. Nice setting. Congrats.

A very nicely telegraphed puzzle :) I don't normally like double-headed arrows much, but this one was a treat!

Love the way the Yin Yang interact with Minesweeper. First minesweeper I've done. Very fun solve path, thanks Florian!
