Timber Brace

The Timber Brace is used to support your underground tunnel when it grows larger. If you do not support your tunnel, you cannot dig very far (you are unable to dig if the tunnel has extended too long without a Timber Brace installed). It can be used as a weapon in The Escapists 2.

Crafting
This is made from 2 (3 in The Escapists 2), which can be bought from other prisoners or stolen from the woodshop job; however, a  is needed to get the Timber past the Contraband Detector.
