SQ: Efficient Winding (Ex) A clockwork soldier can function for 2 days per Hit Die every time it is wound. Standby (Ex) A clockwork soldier can place itself on standby as a standard action. While on standby, a clockwork soldier cannot move or take any actions. It remains aware of its surroundings but takes a -4 penalty on Perception checks. Time spent on standby does not count against the soldier’s wind-down duration.
