Process optimization games?
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?

Some genre names would be: Colony Sim, Base Builder or City Builder.
Another great one is Dwarf Fortress, you should give it a try if you haven't already. It probably has the most in depth simulation of any game there is.

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

It added actual graphics somewhat recently, you don't need to stare at ascii anymore
