Process optimization games? - Feddit

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?

Automation, procedural, visual programming. Or just world building game.

One example: store.steampowered.com/app/92800/SpaceChem/

Pretty much any game from that developer is procedural/automation related.

Zachtronics is back with an ambitious new design-based puzzle game. Take on the role of a Reactor Engineer working for SpaceChem, the leading chemical synthesizer for frontier colonies. Construct elaborate factories to transform raw materials into valuable chemical products!

Ha, was just about to come recommend Zachtronics games. They’re more, uh, programm-y than the others being mentioned, but they definitely do center around process management
