Process optimization games? (feddit.de)

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?

The hero is not doing what you want is exactly the point! You just provided incentives you don't have direct control. So it's definitely more hands-off gaming.

Majesty 2 is pretty good. Still not up to modern user interface standards but it's got good gameplay still
