'Your Library is still not functional; you must enlarge it!' - The Mentor (DK2)
This article is more than a stub, but still needs expansion. You can help by adding to it.
Dungeon Keeper FX (for Fan eXpansion), or simply KeeperFX, is a fan expansion of Dungeon Keeper. Amongst other things, it supports higher screen resolutions, fixes bugs (including the infamous Level 10 Speed bug), adds new campaigns, and provides a better interface.[clarification needed]KeeperFX is mostly a standalone game; although it requires files from the original game to run.
The Word of Power spell dealing no damage (however, the damage it deals is still negligible compared to the quantity the spell and the trap are supposed to deal)
Variably-sized maps, up to 170x170 slabs.
Delta Time to separate rendered frames from game turns, making the game much smoother
Maps can be scripted to generate effects such as these gaily coloured flames and "spells"
New level script commands for more complex levels, including (but not limited to):
Workshops will no longer fill up with unusable crates
Increased zoom limit (it's now enough for a panoptic view of a standard 85x85 map)
