How do you call these games that let you macro-manage people/creatures/processes and you can watch your engine run?

Examples are Rimworld, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Factorio.

I don’t like fast action-based RTS, micromanaging games, I just love to create a world and watch it running on it‘s own!

Is there a specific name for this mechanic? And what are your favorite examples?

    I call them management sims, but I’m sure there are other names for the genre, too.

    Rimworld is one of my favorites.

    Mindustry has been getting a lot of praise. I hope to check it out soon.

    Cities: Skylines is popular, and Cities: Skylines II is due soon.

    Satisfactory is good (although the Steam version used Epic Games telemetry, which has been called out for being rather invasive, last time I looked).
