Centre Perks - How to escape?

[Bitcoin Baron]

I've been round everywhere no idea what to do. I found the outside building where it says no one ever comes here so it's good to dig through to escape. But where do i get the pickaxe and shovel from to do it? I have wandered round everywhere and cant see anything that might be one however a lot of rooms cant be got into.

I have followed the timeline going to different loations but a few days have gone by and nothings happening and theres no hints for what I'm supposed to do.

While rarely you might happen upon pre-made digging/cutting equipment, you're mostly supposed to make them yourself.

Go find a bookcase and use it to raise your int stat, then search for things like pieces of wood, sheets of metal, metal files, and lots and lots of duct tape. An int score of 50 should be enough to escape CP and build a 2nd tier pickaxe, shovel, and/or cutter (could probably do it with less, but 50 is easy enough to attain and stronger tools work faster).

Just remember all that stuff is going to count as illegal contraband so store it in the hidden compartment of your desk (right click). You don't have to, but the hidden compartment is always safe, even if you get desk searched during roll call.

Also try not to let guards see you looting desks (or the desk's owner). NPC desk inventory renews every day at 7 AM with new randomized stuff. Search each day until you find what you need.

There is an in-game crafting chart that shows you what you can make and how much int you need to make it.

The problem Is I dont know that i can do any of these things. The 5 minute tutorial is woefully bad at explaining how to really do everything. It just walks you through a arbitrary series of actions to perform an escape.

Is there any help or hint system on future missions? Or should I just refund it now?

If you really can't be bothered, then refund it now.

Try speaking to Robinson, he's the only person walking around with a red exclamation mark. He will teach you the basics of digging, chipping and cutting, like how to get the stuff and where to start doing the work.

If not getting tools is your problem, you can look in the crafting menu to see what you need to make things. Then it's just a matter of either searching desks to find those things, or buying them from the inmates. Don't worry if something is contraband, because the guards won't see it if you put it in your desks hidden compartment.

In each prison, there is a pay phone which you can use to get hints on how to escape.
Hope all of this helps.
