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?

I really love Anno for this, 1800 is the only one I have played and I think it's an amazing game. The base game on its own has tons of content already but the dlc's add whole new regions and lots of supply chians to the game. It's a bit of a crossover between a city builder and a supply chain simulator, where the majority of the game is based on providing the needs for your residents. It's on sale very often, including the dlc's.

If you were to get it, I recommend getting the dlc's, maybe after a playthrough of the base game. If you wanna know what dlc's to get, you can check out these videos:
