Rust Softcore combines faster gathering, scheduled raiding, reduced player-to-player bullet damage, partial item retention, and a four-player default team limit. Choose Softcore when those rules suit your schedule and group; choose Vanilla when you prefer the default Rust rule set without these Softcore-specific changes.
Rust uses server.port for player connections and server.queryport for services that retrieve server information. Facepunch states that the query port is required for a server to appear in Rust's server browser.
