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?

In case you aren’t aware, the devs released a version with proper graphics now.

If you’re like me, experience with Rimworld + the new graphics will be what finally pulls you in. It’s really great.
