[This puzzle was created with the friends in my stream. Thanks for your help everyone! You can find a VOD of its creation. Be warned this one was much more meandering than usual! here ]
Fillomino: Divide the grid into ominos so that no two ominos of the same size touch orthogonally. Fill each omino with its size.
Clued cells give the size of the omino that contains them. An omino may contain any number of clues, including zero.
Non-standard additional rule: No omino contains an omino identical to an omino it touches orthogonally, including rotations and reflections.
Example: A T pentomino may not orthogonally touch a T tetromino or an L tetromino.

PS: I stream solving sudoku like puzzles two days a week. You can check out the channel, as well as some videos I have made about setting puzzles, at my YouTube channel here.
Lösungscode: The sizes of the ominos in column 9 from top to bottom, no spaces. If multiple cells of an omino occur consecutively within the column, only include the first.

After understanding the rules implications and finding the only arrangement for the break-in, this puzzle is surprisingly doable. GREAT puzzle!

Had this puzzle been set by anyone other than Zeta, I might not have even attempted it because the negative constraint seems like a nightmare to track.
However, Zeta DID set it, the negative constraint was not so bad, and the puzzle is awesome!
