How to dig up

[bardadymchik]

I steal red key and now at night i am digging tunnel under main wall. I already dig 5 tiles north and it is unclear how i can dig up and escape?

just move your cursor around your person until you see the "dig up" option. It's not a button its a space. Try a little bit above your person. May be wrong, haven't been much of a digger. More of a vent guy :)

I am curious about this as well, can you just not dig up when there is a wall above you? I would like to dig into the wood shop from the vacant cell but even though it appears I am directly under the floor (or inside a wall elsewhere) it wont let me dig up on any of the tiles in my 7-9 tile tunnel. I can see the "Dig up" option with a purple arrow and it just beeps at me

Do you need a special tool or what

I've Seen people dig up 0.0 I Guess its a matter of how

Thanks, that was right. Need to press on showel or pickaxe and move around your prisoner tile (exactly the same where it stand), while 'Dig Up' will not appear.

You cannot dig up into the wall. You need to break the wall first. It can be done. I've done it. But you need to put a poster over the hole/wall when you're not using it or the guards will find it. It might be easier to dig to the point where you want inside the woodshop, then dig down from inside the woodshop itself.

Here's how I did it:

Just replay the tutorial. If i remember correctly, it's one of the last steps to complete it.

IM on the tutorial and the last step is to dig upwards. It doesnt tell you how to achieve this. I gave up with playing 'Escapists 1' as the interafce for playing the game was poor. Looks like 'Escapists 2' has similar issues which is a big shame as the games looks like something different. Might be giving up with this now :(

It reads "Dig Up 0%". I cannot get any other dig up dialog, no matter where I move my character or hover my cursor.

I am having the same issue. While the shovel is selected, I move my character and the cursor around, and get only "Dig Up 0%". This is just frustrating and very poorly designed.

EDIT: I finally got out by just randomly clicking and moving around. Very poorly designed!!
