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?

Your suggestions are great, thank you! What’s still missing is a game that let’s you hire people with different skills and watch them do their stuff (Theme Hospital, maybe? There have to be better examples nowadays!)

A close example could be Game Dev Tycoon I played for a while. But unfortunately you really had to micromanage every step.
