As far as management goes x4 foundations is an awesome space game! I have hundreds of hours in that game spent just messing around with an industrial empire, buying mining ships, setting trade routes, all that fun stuff. You don't even have to fight anything if you don't want to.

I played it too! Was a bit overwhelming at first but such a great game. I used to play Eve, X4 gave me a bit of the same feeling but without the toxic people haha
The Rock of Ages trilogy is fun
Too lazy to check all responses but if you want a nice resource building game then Timberborn could be your jam.

Check out Dome Keeper. Mine resources to buy upgrades and protect your dome from waves of aliens. There are lots of game modes and modifiers to get different experiences each run.
Have you tried Against the Storm (based on your mentioning of RTS style games)
If you like factory designing games, I can recommend anything by Zachtronics.
They're all esoteric programming/automation type puzzle games, and they all have their own unique solitaire games built-in for whenever you get tired of the main game.
My personal favourites are SpaceChem - scifi molecule factories - and Opus Magnum - steampunk alchemical molecule factories. Something about the molecules just works for me, don't know why. Plus the Opus Magnum solitaire game is really unique and fun, and it has a user-made level feature, so you can keep playing.
Last Call BBS is a collection of minigames they made as their final release before shutting up shop, so it's a lot more casual than the others, but a lot of fun.
Slay the spire is really fun and different than what you've listed.
It was the first rogue like deck building game. Fantastically done.
Try Shroom and Gloom! It's a roguelike deck builder on itch.io, completely free if you want it to be. Very challenging and really fun
Dark Souls, no sense of management besides managing to not die, but it’s single player (with optional online interactions) and is good. Hard but satisfying when you get it. Lots to explore in the world.
A Plague Tale: Requiem
Thank me later
