I usually call them management games. Looking at the Steam tags for Factorio and RimWorld, they both have "Management" and Factorio additionally has "Resource Management". But I think "Management" is your best bet.
I think RTS games don't usually fall under management and instead are just called RTS.
In terms of my favourite ones, I love FTL: Faster Than Light. I'm picking it up again at the moment actually. I also like RinWorld, Oxygen Not Included, and Dungeon of the Endless.
FTL is so insanely good!
2nd vote for ONI. Many hundred hours in it.
Another +1 for ONI. Like running an ant farm of suicidal clones
