Rules:
Cave: Shade some cells of the grid such that all unshaded cells are connected and all shaded cells are connected to the edge of the grid. Clues are unshaded and count the number of cells a clue sees vertically and horizontally, including itself.
Balanced U-Bahn: Draw a single connected network of lines going through the centers of some orthogonally adjacent cells. Clues above and to the left of the grid count the number of times a given tile (and its rotations) appears unshaded minus the number of times it appears shaded.
Cave clues are not part of the loop network and do not contribute to any tile count (including empty)
Some cell shadings are given, and "x" represents the same value every time it appears.

This puzzle was made to celebrate Myxo's 2000 LMD solves! The team was:
• Lorena (recruiter)
• dumediat (middle management)
• Wisteria Fall (manic creative)
• bellsita (quality assurance)
I did make a solve guide video for this one, if anyone wishes to watch it, just leave a hidden comment.
Lösungscode: for each column except the last, the number of lines leading right

This is truly exceptional. What setting. This has everything i want in a pencil puzzle. Beautiful U-Bahn logic couples perfectly with some cave shading to make a splendid hybrid. While this is difficult it is pure fun all the way through. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for setting this! What an awesome puzzle to be my #2000 :) Very smooth even with one very evil step.
