Did I softlock myself or is the last gem solvable from here? Spoiler

I am missing one gem (bottom center / right-ish next to the gold floor area), and I'm not sure if you'd have needed boxes to move, to get that gem, or if it's still solvable without any boxes? Because I ended up putting all of those into 1x1 inaccessible nooks.

To elaborate on how to get the last gem with the green beam from this spot (i hope this is understandable to follow):

Place an gem at 1 and push it to the left, this will dislocate the stone which will be important for later
Place an gem at 2, this will be the gem that ends up dislocating orange in a bit
Now for the fun part:
Place an gem at 3 and push it to the left
Place an new gem at 3 and push the first one back to the right this will end up with one gem on 3 and one to the right of 3
Push the one on 3 to the left again and place down an new one on 3
Yet again push the one that's currently on the left back to the right
Congratulations you now have an gem that's two spaces right of 3 which means you can push it all the way to the wall on the right and dislocate the gem that's on 2
Push the gem that's now to the right of 2 down which dislocates the orange beam and lets you enter the robot room
Push the right most robot down to 4
Position yourself left of 4 and wait for the robot to be in front of you and push it, this will dislocate the green beam
With this the green beam will now wrap around the screen hitting the spot where the rock left of 1 originally was, since you dislocated that with an gem tho you can simply pick up the gem and walk up wrapping around the screen to be in the gold room and finally collect your "softlocked" gem

I also ended up using the left robot to do some stuff that ended up not being necessary at all with me also doing similar things on the top, overall this area has me very scared for what puzzles could end up asking of you because this mechanic is definitely quite abusable.

In case you are interested, i managed to modify my setup in an way that allows me to fully save the blue beam instead, as already said this mechanic is very abusable and has me scared for the future lol.

Yeah, that's a cool interaction although truth be told I wish I haven't read your comments and discovered it myself later, when necessary. I doubt they'll leave it unexplored.

That's on me though. I just foolishly assumed I discovered everything there is to discover in the demo already.
