So be VERY careful moving in your tunnel with a land mine directly adjacent to an open space, as one slip in movement is all it takes to set one off.

Land mines will not explode if the player digs the dirt surrounding them underground, and it is safe to walk past them, but the player must exercise extreme caution while digging a tunnel through the mine field, as displacing a dirt space adjacent to a mine will allow the player to accidentally step on the mine. Whenever land mines are present (they only appear in San Pancho but can be placed in custom maps made in the editor, so beware) you must either find where land mines are not present, which can be tedious, frustrating and time consuming, or, optimally, dig a tunnel from an area the player can easily access and conceal the entrance to. There is no way to tell where a mine is on the ground layer, and the player must be extremely cautious when walking on ground where land mines are present. On the ground layer, they cannot be seen, and will explode if they player steps on a space within 3 blocks of an underground mine, again instantly knocking them out. Armor and max health with 100 strength will still knock you out. there is no way to defend yourself from a mine explosion. If the player touches the space a land mine occupies, it will explode and deal an infinite amount of damage, immediately knocking out the player and sending him/her to the Infirmary if in the day time, and back to their cell at night.

They appear as a large, silver disk with a flashing red/green light.

They displace a normal dirt block and can be seen in a tunnel. Land mines are a special obstacle present in The Escapists.
