are there no nether fortresses in tekkit?

[tedsys]

i'm in the nether right now cause i need to stock up on blaze rods, but i literally can't find any fortresses. the map thing on the top right corner shows that there's at least 5 fortresses near my portal, but whenever i search in the game there's none. i've mined up and down to lava and bedrock, and there's still nothing.

so did  they remove fortresses or am i missing something ?
