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 GOAT of factory games, and not just because it’s from the same studio that made Goat Simulator, or that you can purchase a boom box in game and make it play Goat Music.
