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?

Links so people can view from their own instance

!automation_games
@automation_games

Those still direct to the same URL for me. Auto-conversion of ! references seems sub-optimal that way.

What works is linking manually to /c/automation_games (propably only from lemmy, as I understand kbin has different conventions :( ): !automation_games@feddit.de, written like [!automation_games@feddit.de](/c/automation_games)
